How can I get at an individual particle's world-space position in a creation expression? I want to alter its lifespanPP based on its position relative to another object

thanks

nevermind, turns out it's a vector, "position", and it's implicitly referenced for each particle.

if u wanna use it u need to define a vector variable, something like

vector $pos = position;

in this way you can split the vector in 3 parts $pos.x, $pos.y, $pos.z
