Hi all,
I am trying to allow particles to populate an area by splitting themselves over time.
Basically the procedure are as follow:
1. Initiate with seed particles
2. Over time, seed particles dies
3. When that happen, they are split into 2 more particles
4. These 2 particles will also die overtime and further split into 2 more particles each
5. The process continue to create an infinite loop.
Attached are the files which i have attempted 2 ways. One by event and the other by grouping.
Both does not create a infinite loop. The simulation ended after set 2 is dead. Somehow the split node does not register the event/group AFTER it. Even the collect node does not help.
Hope you guys could look into it.
Thanks!

Actually, I found a far far simpler way which exploits the oddity that groups in popnets can be accessed before the node that they are created by. I attached an example.
I'm impressed your file
so this is my video
