Path Field

Intro

Apply path following forces to dynamics bodies within a Forge Dynamics simulation.

UI

Common Attributes +

Path to Follow - Connect a Shape to define the path that bodies will follow.

Capture Force - Strength of the force pulling bodies towards the path.

Flow Force - Strength of the force moving bodies along the path tangent.

Capture Margin - Distance from the path where capture forces apply.

Flow Margin - Distance from the path where flow forces apply.

Flow Variance - Add randomness to flow direction for more natural motion.

Capture Curve - Control how capture force attenuates with distance from the path.

Flow Curve - Control how flow force attenuates with distance from the path.

Velocity Damping - Opposes body velocity to prevent oscillation and instability. Higher values create more stable but slower motion.
