I need to find out the world Position for a particle, not its translate just the position ( vector) of the particle itself. And maybe a script to out put the info on a per frame basis. I any could help that would be great...

reply here or email me at shawn_kawa@hotmail.com

right click on the per particle attribute "position" in the attribute editor and enter:

print (particleShape1.position);

(presumes that your particle system is called particleShape1)

if you want the position of a specific particle:

if (particleShape1.particleId == xx)
{
print (particleShape1.position);
}

where xx is the number of the wanted particle
