Snap to closest point on parents shape surface after physics collision - TubeSmokeGuy - 02-14-2020
Hi,
I think it would be cool if you can snap particles to the closest point on its parent shape surface after a spawn at physics contact point. Cause the collision shapes often don't match the visible shape and so the spawned particles are visually positioned at some point in the "air". This is especially important if you link the spawned particles to its parent and so you can see the mismatching visible relationship over time.
Hope you know what I mean!
Thank you!

Yea, that makes sense.

Oh, I actually forgot that this is already possible.
Use a Set Target operator on your spawned particles and set their target to parent. Then use a Move to Target operator to move them onto their target shape (closest point).

Oh yes, this works fine! Thank you!
