This compound creates a force that attracts particles/objects to or repels them from an object's surface, much like a magnet attracts/repels iron filings. This makes it easy to produce effects such as those created by magnets, black holes, or gravity.
While this force is similar to creating goals for particles, the particles with this force keep moving around ("swarming") the surface object instead of trying to assume its shape, as they do with goal objects.
To use this force, you must get e an object with surface geometry (such as a polygon mesh or NURBS surface) and plug its Value output into the Surface port of the Surface Force compound.
Plug this compound's Force output into a Force port on the Add Forces compound.
For more information on the using forces in ICE, see ICE Forces [ICE Guide].
