Some HUDs contain controls for effects. For example, the 2D Particle Emitter HUD contains
a single control that provides a visual way to manipulate three particle system parameters:
Emission Range, Emission Angle, and Speed. These unique controls allow you to set multiple
parameters simultaneously and in an intuitive way.

When multiple effects are applied to an object, you can cycle through the effects’ HUDs. A small
downward-facing arrow next to the HUD name indicates that additional effects are applied to
the selected object.

The arrow indicates

multiple control sets

for the selected object.

Note: It is easier to enter a specific value for a slider parameter in the Inspector.
