Force Properties
The following property sheet pages are available for all effects other than conditions:
- Envelope. Drag the vertical sliders up or down to set the start and end magnitudes of the envelope. Note that if the magnitude of the force is negative, the envelope magnitude moves in the opposite direction, because envelope magnitude is an absolute value.
Drag the horizontal sliders left and right to set the attack and fade durations of the envelope. The attack and fade durations are shown in the diagram proportionally to the current effect duration. If you change the effect duration, the attack and fade duration retain their fixed values and the proportions in the diagram are different.
- Direction. For multiple-axis effects, you can change the direction by dragging the dial, or by entering a value in the text box, in hundredths of degrees.
The following page is available for constant forces:
- Constant. Set the magnitude of the effect by moving the slider up and down. Moving the slider below the center line gives the force a negative magnitude, thus reversing the direction of the pull.
The following page is available for ramp forces:
- Ramp. Set the start and end magnitude of the force by dragging the sliders up and down.
- The following page is available for periodic forces:
- Periodic. Set the offset by using the left vertical slider, and the magnitude by using the right vertical slider. Set the phase by using the top horizontal slider, and the period by using the bottom horizontal slider.
