Multiple Collision Events

[Xsiv]

If you use normal particles and not nParticles this will work.

You have 1 emitter and 2 objects you are colliding with.

The event editor is very simple 1 interaction event - not overly useful when you want to do this kind of thing.
Unfortunately you'll have to script this in maya. Fortunately for you I did this for the current project.

Code - edited for you!

CREATION:
lifespanPP = 10;

RUNTIME:
images/icons/icon4.gifWarning: particle's name is particle1. If it is something different you have to change this line (in the code below):images/icons/icon4.gif
`listConnections particleShape1.collisionGeometry[$index]`;
//GATHERING INFO
vector $pos = pShape.position;
vector $vel = pShape.velocity;
//NAME OF PARTICLE TO EMIT
string $objP = "emitP";


int $index = collisionGeometryIndex;
//print ("Index objects: "+$index+"\n");
if( $index != -1 )
{
string $geoC[] = `listConnections particleShape1.collisionGeometry[$index]`;
string $shape[] = `listConnections ( $geoC[0] + ".localGeometry" )`;

print ("Shapes of objects: "+$shape[0]+"\n");

if ($shape[0] == "ObjectB_Name")
{
lifespanPP = 0
}
if ($shape[0] == "ObjectA_Name")
{
//emits 1 particle at point of collision with other's velocity.
string $emit = ("emit -o "+$objP+" -pos "+$pos+" -attribute velocity"+$vel);
eval($emit);
}
}
