Funny stuff here ....

Finally had some time and fixed the name problem.

Now it's of no importance how you name your particle object. I think this line of code alone is worth checking it.

This week, 3 people asked me 3 totally different questions, but all had the same problem. How to mangle a string with attributes and make it work.

Have a great week
:beer:

instead of using make collide you can make the surface live and place the particles exactly where you want them too.

Yeah stallion151.
:hmm: Okay, that's a point. For a second I was really worried how dumb I am, buuuuuut ..

As soon as you want to have a radius greater than 0 when painting, these particles are no longer on the surface.

Why would one need this? When painting a forrest, or a terrain at all, I don't want to click dozens of times, I want it to be spreaded randomly, stuff like that.
I just love painting particles with a radius.

But for a second you really shocked me, good work man. :thumbsup:

thats the plan :p shock and awe :cool:
i am only here to make myself seem more intelligent...don't tell anyone i am faking it.

don't be alarmed just thinking aloud, would conserve stop your particles from moving on the surface? if you animated the value so that when a majority of particles hit, the conserve is lower.

I've seen a few pieces from the German Film School, must say they're up there with the best. :)

Thank you very much. When signing the GFS contract you are bound with a metal chain to your computer, just bread and water, 3 years. Something good has to come out of that.
Just kidding, but it's a really hard university.

Now I tried all of it, lower the gravity, all conserve values, higher friction, nothing. These particles are unstoppable.
Sure, one can generate a new particle when hitting the terrain, but hey, what's going on?

I think it's the mathematics behind the simulation, gravity is added every frame, so they jump or roll a little bit. Instead of ignoring the gravity when hitting a surface and resilience of 0 and friction of 1. Just one line of code :blush:

i'd say it is your computer, to why the particles still move....ahh its gotta bug....better chuck it away. (their no good after they get a bug)
