Attractor

Attracts or repels particles using a referenced Force SOP or Point SOP.

This tool can be used to represent a magnetic force. For example, if you instance the particles as metallic objects, you can animate them flying towards a giant magnet or a wall. You can also control where things move by making a null object an attractor and moving it around the scene.
