 +The animation curve to apply. Defines how the controller is moved through time from it's initial position.\\
 +X axis has values between 0 and 1. A value of x means a time in the animation of x * "Time Scale". For example, if "Time Scale" is equal to 3, and a point on the curve has an x of 0.5, then that points reflects the animation at a time of 1.5s.\\
 +On the Y axis, a value of y means that the controller is moved from it's initial position by a distance of y * the absolute value of Speed.
