The wind moves a particle by a step of up to two leptons on each axis, in the direction WindDirection names. For Gas and WeakGas particles, this value sets how often the step is taken. For Smoke particles, it sets how large the step is. Fire, Spark, Railgun and Web particles ignore it. The behavior is set by BehavesLike.
Gas and WeakGas particles take the step once every N frames, where N is 10 divided by this value and rounded down. The scale is coarse and reaches every frame quickly:
| Value | Step taken |
|---|---|
0 or less | never |
1 | one frame in ten |
2 | one frame in five |
3 | one frame in three |
4 or 5 | every other frame |
6 through 10 | every frame |
Smoke particles take the step every frame, multiplied by this value. The drift has no upper limit, and a negative value carries the puff upwind.
