# Spring Data

## Description

The *Spring Data* class is a container of data used to determine **how** a spring reacts to forces, making them smoother or faster.

*Note:*

1. The Handle component uses this data to determine what properties can change.
2. Every Motion Effect in the asset has at least one *Spring Data* field, and some may even have three.  

### Tweaking the data

When changing the values of any given *Spring Data*, we present you with three fields that you can change: `spring,` `damping,` and `maxValue.`

Out of these three values, the two main ones are `spring` and `damping,` as they control how ‘springy’ and how smooth the spring behaves.

#### **The spring value**

The closer that the `spring` value is to the right side of the slider (with a value of one,) the more bouncy the spring is; Keeping the value closer to zero makes the spring not move as much.

#### **The damping value**

`damping` is a value used to dampen the smoothness of the effect and allow springs to be sharp if need be; When its value is a small number, the spring is very smooth (taking longer to reach its destination,) when the value is a bigger one, the spring is sharp and moves quickly.
