If a emitter emits one particle and i want to control the particles position with a null object, is this possible? because now i'm using a object as a motioninheritance but the particle moves inside the object so the position is not preceise. The particle that is emitted is in its own group..

Please help me on this, i've been banging my head agains the wall for several days now.. thanks

You should be able to just use a PPositionFollow node which the particle group will follow an object's axis (defined in the node, of course). The node is located in the TP Dynamic hierarchy.

If it's only a single particle in that group you can simply assign the Objects global position to it. This works the other way round as well, i use to put cameras on particles with this trick.
