Hi,

my airField is really doing strange things. In fact, it is strange the air field is virtually doing nothing.

I have a particle emitter, emitting particles that have a goal attribute with a goal Strength of, 0.05 so that they are moving slowly towards that goal.

On the way towards that goal, I want the particles to move in a certain direction when passing an obstacle.

So I created an air field, made it a volume field, checked if it was properly connected in the dynRelations and also checked the particles are really crossing the volume.

...nothing happens. Even if I set the field's magnitude up to 10000 (no attenuation) still nothing happens.

Does anybody have an ideal what's going wrong, here?

Check if the speed attribute of AirField have any value.

If your goal is that the particles walk around the obstacle and then continue moving toward the goal
You can do the same making collisions between particles and obstacle(object).
geoConnector's resilience = 0
fFriction = 1.

Thank you for your suggestion, but the air field did have a speed value. I think it might have been one of those bugs...
