Property Type A Default Range Description

tnEnabled boolean true On/off for the whole list.

strength float 1.0 -1000.0 – 1000.0 Multiplier on every warp in the list.

forceNodes node array empty The space warps in the list.

forceMuted integer array empty Mute flag per warp, parallel to forceNodes: 1 = muted (contributes nothing), 0 = acting.

zoneOn boolean false Active Zone: every warp acts only where the zone reaches, times the zone's value there.

zoneHelpers node array empty The Influence Helpers that make the zone (other objects are ignored). Empty with zoneOn = the zone reaches nothing.

zoneTime boolean false true = the zone works only from zoneFrom to zoneTo.

zoneFrom integer 0 -100,000 – 100,000 First frame the zone works.

zoneTo integer 100 -100,000 – 100,000 Last frame the zone works; before zoneFrom it never works.

forceChannel string "" The painted channel the forces act through: each point is pushed by its weight in it. "" (the default) = the whole cloth. A cloth without a channel of this name is not pushed.

zoneInvert boolean false Invert: the warps act where the zone does NOT reach (one minus the zone's value), inside the zone's time. Empty zoneHelpers = every point is pushed.
