# Motion Warping Component
## In the Editor
**Motion Warping** is the main component in the system, as it is used for initiating interactions and warping animations in runtime. Make sure to add this component to your character:
Example of a set up Motion Warping component.
Let's break down each property of this component:
* **Scale Play Rate**: whether to modify the original play rate; for example, if the distance is longer - the play rate will be reduced, if shorter - increased.
* **Play Animator**: whether to automatically play the animation via *Animator*.
* **Blend Time**: cross-fade blend in time for the animation.
* **OnWarpStarted**: called right before the interaction. Use it to disable collisions and other systems.
* **OnWarpEnded**: called right after the interaction. Use it to enable collision or movement.
## In Code
It is important to reference the **Motion Warping** component in your controller code:
```csharp
public class YourController : MonoBehaviour
{
//...
private MotionWarping _warpingComponent;
//...
private void Start()
{
//...
_warpingComponent = GetComponent();
//...
}
}
```
We will use this component to start interactions. And more about that in the next chapter!
