Delegate parameters define the nature of the delegate motion.
You can change delegate parameters in one of two ways:
- To adjust parameters for an individual delegate, select the delegate, access the Modify panel, and adjust parameters. For descriptions of parameters, see Delegate Helper Object.
- To adjust parameters for several delegates at once, select the crowd helper object, access the Modify panel, and click
(Multiple Delegate Editing) to access the Edit Multiple Delegates dialog.
The speed parameters let you describe a delegate’s average speed and maximum acceleration. You can also define how much a delegate slows down as it turns or goes upward, and how much it speeds up when it goes down.
Turning parameters let you indicate how quickly a delegate can turn, and how much it can turn upward and downward. And banking parameters describe how much and how quickly a delegate banks and its banking limit.
All of these parameters work together to describe different types of creatures. A small fish, for instance, can turn more quickly than a large bird. A fish’s speed would not be effected when the fish traveled up or down, but a bird’s speed might be altered by its upward or downward direction.
