Changing A force During runtime.

Hi

How can i change the value of a force ie T2dforcecomponent.

at the moment i have this.

if (_sceneObject.Physics.VelocityX < 5.0f )
            {
                // settle object velocity to 0 once below <5f
                _controlMyForce.Value = 0f; 
            }

So what i want to do is once objects velocity falls below a certain speed, i want the t2dforcecomponent to stop putting a force on the object.
_controlMyForce = Owner.Components.GetInterface<ValueInterface<float>>("float", "MyForceName");
thats how i defined _control my force.

So I added this as a component to the object, and it has no effect.

Any suggestions?

I'd also like to know this. Anyone else have an idea about this? I've tried what Josef did and it doesn't seem to work for me either.

From what I understand you would have to get the ValueInterface value and apply it to your physics component. I believe I have used a value interface in a component owned by an object.
