Hi all, i am creating a dop netwwork that require 2 levels of glue. i.e. Objects groupC glue to objects groupB, and then objects groupB glue to object groupA. Therefore, I made groupC and B mutual affectors, and groupB and A mutual affectors. No problem so far, but for some reasons I want to make sure A and C has no relationship whatsoever, so I don't want groupA and C being mutual affectors. How can I setup such a affector relationship?

I tried setting A and B mutual, B and C mutual and then merge these 2 setup with the “no change” setting. Houdini was complaining B was in multi affector groups. I've also made A and C has no collision with no colider dops .

Hi Wesley:

You can use an Affector DOP to specify which objects you want to affect which. Also, make sure you are paying attention to the Details view, where you will see a record called “Affector” This contains a chart which lets you know how Objs are affecting each other. Green means they're mutual, blue means one affects the other.

Hope this helps!
