Rigid Body Force Affector
Allows forces to be applied to a rigid body system.
Rigid Body Force Affector
Method #
The Rigid Body Force Affector node allows forces to be applied to a rigid body system.
Parameters
These properties control the 3D transforms of the node. Transforms will generally be inherited by child nodes, although they can be ignored through the Inherit Transform Channels attributes.
Parameter Details
Position X Move along the local x-axis.
Position Y Move along the local y-axis.
Position Z Move along the local z-axis.
Rotation Heading Rotate around the local y-axis.
Rotation Pitch Rotate around the local x-axis.
Rotation Bank Rotate around the local z-axis.
Scale X Scale along the local x-axis.
Scale Y Scale along the local y-axis.
Scale Z Scale along the local z-axis.
Toggle which transform channels should be inherited from the parent node. By default, all transforms will be inherited.
Parameter Details
Position X Toggle inheritance of the X Position from the parent.
Position Y Toggle inheritance of the Y Position from the parent.
Position Z Toggle inheritance of the Z Position from the parent.
Rotation Heading Toggle inheritance of the Rotation Heading from the parent.
Rotation Pitch Toggle inheritance of the Rotation Pitch from the parent.
Rotation Bank Toggle inheritance of the Rotation Bank from the parent.
Scale X Toggle inheritance of the X Scale from the parent.
Scale Y Toggle inheritance of the Y Scale from the parent.
Scale Z Toggle inheritance of the Z Scale from the parent.
World Position Only Inherit the world position from the parent only, rotation and scale will be ignored. Overrides above properties.
Inherit Time Toggle inheritance of time from the parent.
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details
Amount The amount of force applied.
Mode The mode of the affector
- Directional Force : Apply force in a constant single direction
- Repel : Repel from the centre point
- Attract : Attract to the centre point
- Vortex : Create a vortex around the centre point
Falloff Mode The falloff mode of the affector
- Infinite : No falloff is applied
- Spherical : A spherical falloff is applied
Inner Radius The inner radius of the falloff if spherical mode is used
Outer Radius The outer radius of the falloff if spherical mode is used
Randomness The randomness of the amount of force applied
