I must have done something in the display settings I think, because these were rendering just fine before. Then I had an issue where the emitters were duplicating themselves, so I reloaded the file and now nothing emits anywhere. This is my first time using FLIP simulations and only my third day on Houdini so you're gonna have to help me like I'm clueless because I am. I've got a strong foundation in Maya and Zbrush but I've never really dove into VFX until now.

I'm using 20.0.547 because it's the newest build that is supported by Redshift. I'm trying to add a simple shockwave to my scene to accompany my fracture animation but it's behaving unexpectedly. When I drop it into the scene and it generates, it works fine when it's set to the default start frame of 1, but if I change it to any other frame to put it where I need it in the animation, it stops working, even if I change the start frame back to 1. I haven't adjusted any other parameters so aside from start frame it's just a default simple shockwave sim.
