Step Field Layer

The Step Layer generates values between 0 and 1, which can be mixed with other fields and modifier layers in the corresponding field lists (e.g. for effectors or deformers).
These values are assigned to the (internally) numbered clones/points etc. in ascending order.
The field does not work for elements that do not have a number (e.g. standard particles).
Example
In this example, a Step Field Layer in a Plain effector ( Time Offset parameter) ensures that the animation of the cloned source object is assigned to each clone with a time offset.
