Why can't I use $ID when using the particle SOP April 6, 2008, 7:07 p.m.

I will have a look at the attractor POP. Thanks very much for the tips guys..

Oh okay.

I tried to use it because I assumed the points get created, attributes initlalised and then forces get applied after that.

What I want to do is to use expressions like fit01(rand($ID+2342),5,10) in the forces tab of the particle sop to randomise forces between each particle.

I want to use the particle SOP as I want to use it in conjunction with metaballs and the force SOP to generate some weird directional and axial movements…

Thanks for your help btw!

Why can't I use $ID when using the particle SOP April 5, 2008, 8:40 a.m.

If I set up soem particles using the particle SOP, my particles get a $ID attribute. Why can't I use this attribute in an expression?

I.e. If I put rand($ID) into one of the fields on the particle SOP, it says it doesn't recognise the variable, even though each point has $ID…?
