i want particles to be affected by either the wind or the attractor depending on color that changes with a vop pop (turbulence noise offset-ed by $FF)

So particles having wind get affected by the attractor depending on their color, but i am unable to make those affected by the attractor unaffected by the wind upon their color

I used two technics:
-one using vex expression in group.
-another one using only pop wrangle to create groups.

thanks for helping

Hey Sami,

I see the problem you are running in to, so maybe this hack would be a good solution for now:

Because streams in the new POPs are actually just point groups, I found that you can just assign your streams in group sops in a sop solver attached to your sim. I also added an attribute transfer to guarantee that the points stay in the attractor group once they get close enough to the logo.

I'll attach and example.

thanks a lot Ilan.
that will definitely do it for now.
also thanks for the info about using normal point group in a sop solver.
that will help for other cases.
