This property modifies the effect of wind zonesA GameObject that adds the effect of wind to your terrain. For instance, Trees within a wind zone will bend in a realistic animated fashion and the wind itself will move in pulses to create natural patterns of movement among the tree. More info

Multiplier Scale value applied to wind zone forces.
Influence Filter Choose whether to include Force Fields based on a Layer MaskA value defining which layers to include or exclude from an operation, such as rendering, collision or your own code. More info

, or via an explicit List.
List Define an explicit list of Force Fields that can affect this Particle SystemA component that simulates fluid entities such as liquids, clouds and flames by generating and animating large numbers of small 2D images in the scene. More info

can incorporate wind zones which affect the movement of trees on the landscape. Enabling this section allows the wind zones to blow particles from the system. The Multiplier value lets you scale the effect of the wind on the particles, since they will often be blown more strongly than tree branches.
