Description

Applies forces to attract/repulse against a point.

When the source Collider2D is a trigger, the effector will apply forces whenever the target Collider2D overlaps the source. When the source Collider isn't a trigger, the effector will apply forces whenever the target Collider2D is in contact with the source only.

This effector is designed primarily to work with source Collider2D that are set as triggers so that target Collider2D can overlap the defined area.

Properties

angularDragThe angular drag to apply to rigid-bodies.
distanceScaleThe scale applied to the calculated distance between source and target.
dragThe linear drag to apply to rigid-bodies.
forceMagnitudeThe magnitude of the force to be applied.
forceModeThe mode used to apply the effector force.
forceSourceThe source which is used to calculate the centroid point of the effector. The distance from the target is defined from this point.
forceTargetThe target for where the effector applies any force.
forceVariationThe variation of the magnitude of the force to be applied.

Static Methods

DestroyRemoves a GameObject, component or asset.
