HUD control
The HUD lets you adjust the Phase, Amplitude, Speed, and Half Range parameters as
well as change the parameter assignment of the Oscillate behavior.
Parameters in the Inspector
Wave Shape: A pop-up menu that lets you choose the shape of the oscillation’s wave.
The choices are Sine (default), Square, Sawtooth, and Triangle.
 Sine: The default wave shape, the sine wave creates a smooth animation between
values. For example, if Oscillate is applied to an object’s Opacity parameter, and the
Wave Shape is set to Sine, the object gracefully fades in and out.
 Square: The square wave creates abrupt changes in values. For example, when
Oscillate is applied to an object’s Opacity parameter, and the Wave Shape is set to
Square, the object flashes on and off (like turning a light switch on and off ).
