Grid Emmiter question

Can the Grid Emitter be made to continue emitting particles on each frame?
Right now it just emits once.

Just once on the emission frame.

The workaround way would be to create a few planes on z-axis with each plane containing equivalent x y segments, add those to position object, birth on all verts, lock to objects, set the birth op to match the amount of total vertices, then spawn by rate.

ah, that might work.
Thanks.

no it's still only emitting once at the start of the animation, positions the particles then stops emitting.

Or are you not referring to the Data Pre-set?

Hi Dan,

Check the attached scene file, there are a couple notes in it.

ah, the spawn was what I really needed. Thanks, that works fine.

Yes, the spawn works as your new birth operator.

Just note that sometimes for some unknown reason when you use this technique there are times when you adjust a parameter and pflow stops responding, simply turn the system off (the light bulb in the PF source or hit the ";" semi-colon key twice) to cycle the flow and everything should work as normal.
