Using Behaviors
367
If the Stop behavior is shorter than the object to which it’s applied, all keyframes and
behaviors affecting that channel immediately take effect after the last frame of the
Stop behavior. For more information on using the Stop behavior, see “
Dashboard control
The Dashboard control allows you to change the parameter assignment.
Parameters in the Inspector
Apply To: The Apply To pop-up menu shows the parameter being stopped, and can be
used to reassign the Stop behavior to another parameter.
Wriggle
This behavior works similarly to the Randomize behavior, but with a slower effect.
Dashboard control
The Dashboard has controls for Amount, Multiplier, Frequency, Wriggle Offset,
Noisiness, Link (for multidimensional parameters), Start Offset, End Offset, and
parameter assignment.
Parameters in the Inspector
Amount/Multiplier: This parameter is set to Amount when the Apply Mode is set to
Add, Subtract, Add and Subtract, and Multiplier when the Apply Mode is set to
Multiply. This parameter defines the maximum value the Wriggle behavior will
generate.
Apply Mode: A pop-up menu that determines how values generated by this behavior
are combined with other behaviors and keyframes that affect the same parameter. This
provides you with different ways of using a Wriggle behavior to modify a parameter’s
preexisting values. The options are Add, Subtract, Multiply, or Add and Subtract.
Frequency: A slider that lets you adjust the amount of random variation per second.
Higher values will generate faster variations, whereas lower values will generate slower
variations.
Wriggle Offset: A slider that allows you to offset the sequence of random values when
you want to apply the same Wriggle behavior to multiple objects. By offsetting each
object’s version of the Wriggle behavior, you can prevent them from moving in sync.
