Influence Actors
This section offers a summary of the properties of the Influence Actors that impact the calculations related to atmospheric composition.
Common properties
All Influence Actors come with a set of common properties to control their behavior and appearance.
Main
Property |
Type |
Description |
Atmosphere |
Actor |
The atmosphere the influence actor should be assigned to. |
Is Active |
Boolean |
Activates or deactivates the atmospheric influence. |
Influence
Property |
Type |
Description |
Influence Unbound |
Boolean |
If true, the influence is always active, regardless of distance. |
Use Cubic Influence |
Boolean |
If true, calculations regarding influence will be based on a cubic shape. |
Apply Influence Boundary Falloff |
Boolean |
Activates simulation of decreasing impact with increasing distance from the actors's center. |
Influence Boundary Falloff Factor |
Float |
Determines the rate at which the influence effects decrease towards the outer boundary. Higher values result in a sharper decrease. |
Influence Extent |
Float |
Range within which the influence is effective. |
Visuals
Property |
Type |
Description |
Use Visuals |
Boolean |
Toggle to use the built-in visual representations. |
Show Bounds |
Boolean |
Determines whether to show the bounds visually. |
Bounds Color |
Linear Color |
Color of the bounds indicator. |
Main Mesh |
Static Mesh |
The main mesh to represent the atmospheric source visually. |
Main Mesh Location |
