Range
Specifies the distance from the center of the Drag icon, in system units,
within which damping is in full effect. Takes effect only when Unlimited
Range is turned off.
Falloff
Specifies the distance beyond the Radial/Tangential Range within which
Linear Damping is applied. Damping is strongest at the Range distance,
decreases linearly out to the limit of the Falloff, and has no effect beyond
that. While Falloff takes effect only beyond the Range, it is measured from
the center of the icon, and always has a minimum value equal to the Range
value. Takes effect only when Unlimited Range is turned off.
■ Cylindrical Damping When Drag operates in Spherical Cylindrical mode,
its icon is a cylinder within a cylinder. Particle motion is broken up into
radial, tangential, and axial vectors. Damping is applied within a spherical
volume for the radial and tangential vectors and on a planar basis for the
axial vector.
Radial/Tangential/Axial
Damping controls the percentage of particle motion toward or away from
the center of the circular portion of the icon (Radial), across the radial
vector (Tangential), or along the length of the icon's long axis (Axial) that's
affected by the damping, on a per-frame basis.
Range
Specifies the distance from the center of the Drag icon, in system units,
within which Radial and Axial damping are in full effect. Range also
specifies the thickness of the infinite plane that governs the range of Axial
damping. Takes effect only when Unlimited Range is turned off.
Falloff
Specifies the distance beyond the Radial/Tangential/Axial Range within
which Linear Damping is applied. Damping is strongest at the Range
distance, decreases linearly out to the limit of the Falloff, and has no effect
beyond that. While Falloff takes effect only beyond the Range, it is
measured from the center of the icon, and always has a minimum value
equal to the Range value. Takes effect only when Unlimited Range is turned
off.
