66    @brief
67        Implements a force field, that applies a force to any @ref orxonox::MobileEntity "MobileEntity" that enters its range.
68
69        The following parameters can be set to specify the behavior of the ForceField.
70        - @b forcedirection The direction and the strength of the homogenous force field. Default is 0,-400,0.
71        - @b velocity The amount of force the ForceField excerts. Default is 100.
72        - @b diameter The diameter of the ForceField. Default is 500.
73        - @b length The length of the ForceField. Default is 2000.
74        - @b mode The mode the ForceField is in. For mode:
75            - <em>tube</em> A ForceField which exerts force only in the direction it is oriented. The force is only exerted on objects that are in a tube of length <em>length</em> and diameter <em>diameter</em> (with rounded start and end faces, so in fact the <em>length</em> parameter specifies a ball with <code>origin + length/2</code> as the center and <code>length/2</code> as the radius). The magintude of the force is proportional to the <em>velocity</em>, being highest when an object is in the middle of the tube (radius-wise), linearly decreasing with greater radii and finally reaching zero, when the object is <code>diameter/2</code> away from the orientation vector.
76            - <em>sphere</em> A Force Field which exerts force radially away from itself, with the greatest magnitude (proportional to <em>velocity</em>) being in the origin of the ForceField, linearly decreasing with respect to the distance to the origin and finally reaching zero at distance <code>diameter/2</code>.
77            Default is <em>tube</em>.
78            - <em>invertedSphere</em> A ForceField which excerts force radially towards itself, with the highest force at the boundary of the sphere, linear decreasing until reaching a distance of <code>radius-length</code> from the origin, where the force reaches zero.
