A button sets selected launchers from their current values to 9 project units per second. A particular scene prefab instance previously had a value of 6. The intended result is an instance override that can be undone back to its previous value, while the source prefab keeps its existing default.\n\nMake the button's scope explicit. Setting every selected launcher to the same value differs from adding a relative amount to each launcher's existing value. A multi-object serialized property getter returns the first target's value, so reading it once and applying arithmetic to all targets would not implement independent relative adjustments.
