For the force upwards, give it a value of -250 for the Vertical Fan

For force to the right or left, give it a value of 70 or -70 for the Horizontal Fan

When a fan spins it will create dust particles.

We need to know WHICH dust particles are active.

What are UIDs?
What are UIDs?
In Construct 3, each object has a unique identifier, called a UID, which is always a positive number.
In Construct 3, each object has a unique identifier, called a UID, which is always a positive number.
We assign a starting value of -1 to the DustParticlesUID instance variable because it is impossible for a UID to be negative.
We assign a starting value of -1 to the DustParticlesUID instance variable because it is impossible for a UID to be negative.
This way, when we check the value of DustParticlesUID, we can easily tell whether it has been assigned a real UID yet or not.

If the value is still -1, it means the fan hasn’t yet been associated with a dust particle, and we know we need to assign it.

Note: How the fan and dust work with UIDs
We will code each fan to have the same instance as the UID of their respective dust particle.
