Detailed Description

This is field that applies force in a direction, and doesn't tamper with gravity.

This class is similiar to a gravity well in that it can attenuate, but different in that the direction is constant, the source of force(for calculating attenuation) can be outside the field itself, and the direction is constant.
Placing the source of attenuation inside the field will cause the object to accelerate as it gets close to the source, and then will be applied less force(but in the same direction) as it moves from the source. This behavior makes this class good for creating a booster-like AE.

Member Function Documentation

void Mezzanine::FieldOfForce::ApplyEffect ( )

virtual

Todo:: This currently will apply this fields force uniformly to all rigid proxies contained in a WorldObject. Instead this should perhaps apply only to the ones in the field, or perhaps apply force based on the proxy position rather than the WorldObject position to get more interesting results.

Todo:: Update to allow the application of force to soft proxies.

Implements Mezzanine::AreaEffect.
