The Area Effector 2D applies forces within an area.

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.
