Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set a random velocity per particle using fit01.

In my POP Source, in velx I wrote :

fit01(rand(@id), -5, 5)

Is there a reason why this wouldn't work?

What does work is

fit01(rand($F), -5, 5) but that makes all my particles per frame go in the same direction.



Thanks!

Because popsource does have Use VEXpressions field. You can only use hscript or python expressions.

Use popwrangle or voppop.

I tried using the POP wrangle but it still isn't working.

I think I might not be calling the right attribute.

in the POP wrangle I wrote :

velx = fit01(rand(@id), -5, 5);

I'm pretty sure the velx is the issue…

It's @v.x not velx
