## Effectors

### Effectors

Parameter ID: `ID_MG_MOTIONGENERATOR_EFFECTORLIST`

Place all Effectors into this field that should affect the Cloner. Effectors can be added to this field by:

- Already existing Effectors can be dragged into this field from the **Object Manager**.
- Creating a new Effector while having the Cloner or MoGraph Generator selected will automatically add it to the **Effectors** list.

Clicking on the switch icon to the right side of the Effectors in the list will deactivate or activate the Effector. This can also be done in the **Object Manager** (the effect of the Effector will be applied globally).

Each Effector has a corresponding slider below the **Effectors** field, with which the Effector’s strength can be adjusted. This value will be multiplied with the Effector’s **Strength** setting.

Note:\
Arranging the Effectors in different sequences (top to bottom) in the **Effectors** field will lead to different results. For example, if a *Random Effector* and a *Spline Effector* are placed into this field: If the *Spline Effector* is executed before the *Random Effector*, all clones will not be able to be arranged onto the spline, which would be the case if the *Random Effector* were executed first.\
Also important is the sequence in which Effectors with weighting transformations are executed, i.e., if Effector 3 should use Effector 2’s weighting, Effector 3 should be placed after (below) Effector 2 in the list.\
The sequence of Effectors can be modified simply by dragging them to their desired positions.

Tip:\
Note that you can outsource the complete functionality of this Effector list to the [ReEffector](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OEREEFFECTOR.html.md). In this case, only the *ReEffector* is in the list. Effectors can also be neutralized if the *ReEffector* is arranged in the right location. More information can be found in the aforementioned link.
