Menu Path : **Force > Force**

|
The **Force** Block applies the given force to particles. To do this, it changes the affected particles’ velocity.

## Block compatibility
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This Block is compatible with the following Contexts:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- [Update](Context-Update.md)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

## Block settings

| **Setting** | **Type** | **Description** |

|

|
|
| **Mode** | Enum | The method this Block uses to apply a force to particles. The options are:<br/>• **Absolute**: Applies the force directly to the particles.<br/>• **Relative**: Applies the force in a way that causes the particles' velocity to tend towards the **Velocity** value. The speed at which they do this depends on the difference between the particles' velocity and the target **Velocity**. This transition is faster with a higher **Drag** value and a lower particle mass. This option is useful to simulate a flow, like wind, that particles follow without ever exceeding the target velocity. |

|
|
| **Force** | [Vector](Type-Vector.md) | The force vector this Block applies to particles.<br/>This property only appears if you set **Mode** to **Absolute**. |
|
|||
|
|
| **Velocity** | [Vector](Type-Vector.md) | The relative velocity that affected particles tend towards.<br/>This property only appears if you set **Mode** to **Relative**. |
|
|||
|
|
| **Drag** | float | The drag coefficient.<br/>This property only appears if you set **Mode** to **Relative**. |

## Remarks
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This Block only affects the particle position if you enable the **Update Position** setting in the [Update Context](Context-Update.md).
