Thanks Jumpei.F
It's good that we are both testing, because 2 heads are smarter then one.
---------------------------
When you tested my previous method, it was not working because your custom property timing was set to event entry (sorry I forgot to mention that (but from your other tests I see you figured that out yourself).
The reason why I am disabling Tyflow cache is to "stay safe", because if I change Fume Particle emitter settings, and scrub timeline, Tyflow doesn't figure out that anything has changed, and it keeps providing fume particles with the same (cached) info.
I still think it's smart (in this case) keeping cache off, at least, until you finished setup of the particles completely.
----------------------------------------
I tested further this morning (with carefully reading your post), and I think I am "almost there".
In my newest setup, everything works as expected, the only thing you need to adjust (if you change particle age) is interpolation.... nothing else...
I am attaching a test similar like your super spray test...
Now, I repeat... if you change, in my test, settings of the delete operator, and make particle live longer or shorter, the only thing you need to adjust is interpolation in custom properties operator... nothing else...
If you change other settings (speed, forces), everything will work fine.
I haven't tried yet will this work if I had more complex setups, for example, Tyflow with several events, and if I wanted only one event to be loaded in the fumefx (with proper age).
But I guess it should work nicely too.
