# Velocity from Direction & Speed (Random Direction)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Menu Path : **Velocity > [Set/Add] Velocity from Direction & Speed (Random Direction)**
|
||
|
|
||
|
The **Velocity from Direction And Speed (Random Direction)** Block calculates a velocity for the particle based on a blend ratio between a random direction (per-particle), and the direction attribute.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Block then scales the final direction vector by a speed, and composes it with the velocity attribute.

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

|
## Block settings
|
||
|
|
||
|
| **Setting** | **Type** | **Description** |
|
||
|
| --------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||
|
| **Composition** | Enum | **(Inspector)** Specifies how this Block composes the velocity attribute. The options are:<br/>• **Set**: Overwrites the velocity attribute with the new value.<br/>• **Add**: Adds the new value to the velocity attribute value.<br/>• **Multiply**: Multiplies the velocity attribute value by the new value.<br/>• **Blend**: Interpolates between the velocity attribute value and the new value. You can specify the blend factor between 0 and 1. |
|
||
|
| **Speed Mode** | Enum | Specifies how to calculate the speed. The options are:<br/>• **Constant**: Applies a constant speed which you set in the **Speed** property.<br/>• **Random**: Applies a random speed between **Min Speed** and **Max** **Speed**. |

## Block properties
|
||
|
|
||
|
| **Input** | **Type** | **Description** |
|
||
|
| ------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||
|
| **Speed** | float | The speed multiplier to apply to the direction vector in order to calculate the velocity.<br/>This property only appears if you set **Speed Mode** to **Constant**. |
|
||
|
| **Min Speed** | float | The minimum speed multiplier to apply to the direction vector in order to calculate the velocity.<br/>This property only appears if you set **Speed Mode** to **Random**. |
|
||
|
| **Max Speed** | float | The maximum speed multiplier to apply to the direction vector in order to calculate the velocity.<br/>This property only appears if you set **Speed Mode** to **Random**. |
|
||
|
| **Blend Direction** | float | The blend percentage between the current direction attribute value and the newly calculated direction value. |
|
||
|
| **Blend Velocity** | float | The blend percentage between the current direction attribute value and the newly calculated direction value.<br/>This property only appears if you set **Composition** to **Blend**. |
