UI

Common Attributes +

Custom Color - By default a Field will use its label color but with Custom Color checked it will use the color set by the Color attribute.

Draw Color - Set a custom color for the Field's appearance in the Viewport.

Strength - Set the Strength of the Field.

Direction - Set the direction of the field as a vector. e.g. 1, 0 = right, 0, 1 = up. Use the Strength attribute as a multiplier.

Rotational Force - Apply a rotational force to the Body to make them spin as they are moved.

Affects Groups - Enter comma separated strings (e.g. text, rocks) to target/filter specific Collision Groups for a field affect. Collision Groups can be added to bodies via the Forge Dynamics Per Body Settings.

Falloffs - Connect a Falloff to isolate where in the Composition the Field is active.
