Time group
Period Specifies how many frames should elapse before a new speed is chosen.
Deviation Specifies the maximum amount by which Period should vary.
Each time a period ends, character studio takes a random number between
the negative and positive values of the Deviation setting, multiplies it by the
Period setting, and adds the result to Period. Default=0.5. Range=0.0 to 1.0.
Speed group
The mathematical formula for the new speed is as follows: new speed =
(delegate's Average Speed*Center)*(1 + RN*Center Deviation), where RN is a
random number between -1 and 1.
Center Specifies the speed the delegate should change to. Center is a multiplier:
A value of 0.0 means to stop, a value of 1.0 means to move at its
average speed
on page 4815, and a value greater than 1.0 means to move faster than its average
speed. Default=1.0. Range=0.0 to 99,999.0.
Deviation Specifies the maximum amount by which the delegate's calculated
speed (Average Speed*Center) should vary.
Each time a period ends, character studio takes a random number between
the negative and positive values of the Deviation setting, multiplies it by the
calculated speed, and adds the result to the calculated speed. Default=0.25.
Range=0.0 to 99,999.0.
Accel Period Specifies the rate at which the delegate's speed should change
in relation to the period length.
A value of 0.0 means that the transition to the new speed will proceed as
quickly as possible, and a value of 0.5 means the transition will take half the
period. A value of 1.0 means the transition will take the entire period.
Default=0.5. Range=0.0 to 1.0.
Deviation Specifies the maximum amount by which acceleration should vary.
Each time a period ends, character studio takes a random number between
the negative and positive values of the Deviation setting, multiplies it by the
Acceleration setting, and adds the result to Acceleration. Default=0.5.
Range=0.0 to 1.0.
Seed Specifies a value for randomizing the Speed Vary behavior.
