just an easy question (i think)
i have a explosion set up in houdini but need to delay the explosion is there an easy way to do this?

hi
in pyro node(smoke object) go to creation tab and set your frame that you want explosion start.
but remember if for example you want to start explosion at frame 20 you need set all animated option start from 20.

thanks NimaNolan, but what is “set all animated option ” thanks a lot

is the set all animated option on the same node as the creation tab?

I think what he means to say is that you must not forget to set any other animated parameter or setting to start at the same frame.
Or you might get undesired results.

thanks Eckxter it makes sence now

Hi!
I'm having the same problem, I changed the initial set frame in the dopnet and in the smoke node, but it doesn't work. Could you help me fixing this problem? Thanks!

Usually you just change the Start Frame on the DOP Net.
Then inside the DOP Net, on the smoke object, try checking on “Solve on Creation Frame”.
Make sure your source is actually there on the frame you need it.
And check if your container is where your source is.

Or if you're not sure, share you .hip file and I'll have a quick look.
