General Attributes

Many objects share the same attributes. The attributes in the list below have the same function for every object that uses these.

= animationCurveEditor =

When you click an option like "Position" the little box above may appear. This is the animationCurveEditor and it allows you to animate the selected value. This can be used for example to make an object move, change it's color over time, etc.

Strength
Determines how much the value will be changed. For instance if you set it to "0.5" the value will move from "value - 0.5" to "value + 0.5"

PeriodMin and PeriodMax
Affects the speed. (How much time it takes for it to move from point A to point B). The biggest the 2 values, the slower the animation will be.

PeriodMin is the minimum amount of time it will take for the object to sway back and forth once.

PeriodMax is the maximum amount of time it will take for the object to sway back and forth once.

CentreOffset
Can only be set between 0-1 and controls which way the the object will move.

-0-0.4: Starts on left side, moves right till max distance is reached and moves back to the starting position at a varying speed.

-0 is Instant while 0.1-4 are faster speeds than the set speed.

-0.6-1: Are the opposite of the above.

-0.5: Just makes it move back and forth at the same speed.
