Hello everybody,
The thing is, I want to create something like a wind zone to move trees, but I want to use this wind to move other things (whose parameters change using physics by script). I have tried with a normal windzone object, but I cannot get the wind force (there is no such a thing as a vector3 or vectorXD or whatever), so I can’t use it. If I could get the force from the windzone object (in a vector), I could add this force in my physics engine.
Any ideas??
Many thanks!

Try something like windzone.transform.foward, or if that doesn’t give you what you’re looking for, try windzone.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.

None of them work…the wind changes but the value in the transforms remains the same…

Yeah. Reflection is the way I do it.
Note that the windzone affects trees and particles.
Terrain grass, on the other hand, is actually controlled using the terrain settings

This is a shame. It would be so simple to make the current wind public in WindZone.

They have made it public. No reflection required anymore.

We are indeed able to control the script by code now, but I was talking about the current wind itself. I still can’t see any way of getting the wind force at some position, without ugly tricks.
