# springField()

Creates a field node that applies a spring-like force that pulls physics bodies toward the field node.

## Declaration

```swift
class func springField() -> SKFieldNode
```

## Return Value

Return Value A new spring field node.

## Discussion

Discussion The strength of the field measures the strength of the spring. A positive number indicates that the body is accelerating toward the field node. The falloff property of a spring field node is set by default to -1.
