Hi,
I'm working with the field objects and trying to understand their logic. For the point charge component: what do the units for charge and decay correspond to? For example, if my charge strength is -20, and my decay is 0.5, then how can I predict the active distance and falloff curve? If the decay corresponds to an exponent in the equation, does this mean I could get maintain a constant vector at a particular point by varying the strength geometrically?
Another question: I would love to use the vector field element for parallel forces (eg the whole field is aligned to z axis), but there doesn't seem to be any decay, so the field cannot be put in interference with another vector field element in a constructive manner. The resulting field is just the difference of the two vectors regardless of where I evaluate. Is this by design? Is there a way to do directional fields that decay?
Thanks!
