I'm New to Xpresso and TP, and I'm trying to work out a way to make the particles Spawn on the first frame over multiple objects, and then stay in that position as the object moves

I can make the particles follow, a single object, but I don't know how to make them follow multiple objects

this is what I got, Im using ObjectList, but the TP are sticking only to the first object in the list

I think the ObjectList-Node won´t help you in this case, because it´s an iteration-node. You can use the LinkList-node instead, it looks similar but with that you can pick one object out of a given list by index.
Of course you need also to remember on wich object every particle has been positioned in frame 0, so you need another data channel. You can use the index number, but you can also use the link to the object itself.

best wishes,

Jochen

If i remember correctly the goo preset uses a mechanism to store the local position of a particel in regard to an object. With that you can attach a particle to any moving object. Deforming objects are a different matter though.
