Hi all

What i want is to have a piece of geometry that nParticles are stuck a portion of then trigger a "flow" up goalV at a specific frame.

I wrote an expression on normal particles and it works fine but when i try to do that expression on nparticles they dont obey the initial GoalU and GoalV maximums ive set, they just goal themselves evenly to the entire piece of geometry.

//creation

goalU = rand(0,1);
goalV = rand(0,.14);

moveSpeed = rand(.001,.006);
frameChoose = rand(8,12);

//runtime

if (frame >= frameChoose)
goalV += moveSpeed;

any help would be appreciated
PS i did turn on all in the cache options.
Cheers

my bad...ALWAYS check to see if your maya is acting weird before posting on cgtalk!! NEW RULE! my maya was acting freaky. I did a restart on my machine and things are behaving normally again.
