Rigid Body Force Affector
Updated: 4 Dec 2023
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 The objects position along the local x-axis.
Position Y The objects position along the local y-axis.
Position Z The objects position along the local z-axis.
Rotation Heading The objects rotation around the local y-axis.
Rotation Pitch The objects rotation around the local x-axis.
Rotation Bank The objects rotation around the local z-axis.
Scale X The objects scale along the local x-axis.
Scale Y The objects scale along the local y-axis.
Scale Z The objects scale along the local z-axis.
Control the inheritance of the transforms from the parent.
Parameter Details Position Toggle inheritance of the Position from the parent.
Rotation Toggle inheritance of the Rotation from the parent.
Scale Toggle inheritance of the 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
