Find Target + Follow path??
#1
Hi,
I have a setup where the particles are following a path for 200 frames.  At  201 frame, I wanted those particles to  find a target.
My current setup seems to use just the particles at 201 frame to find the target.  I would like to have all of the particles that are on the follow path, to now find their target.  What am I missing>[Image: ftFp8M8M]

Thanks!

I am drunk now, but will try to help.
Have you tried changing time test from "particle age" to "event age"?
(I assume you might have previous experience with Particle Flow, and from what I remember (and I haven't touched it since first Tyflow beta appeared), the way both handled particle life or event life is somewhat different).

Do you want ALL your particles to go all at 201 frames to new location (that is easy, just add time test at 201, and select to frame)
Or you want every particle that finish travel to spline, to go to next location?

Thanks for the reply! Basically, I wanted to manipulate the particles as you would with any particles, ie forces. It appears that the particles that travel to their target, have 1 thing on their mind and that is to get to the target. They seem to ignore any forces or other operators while they are on their path. I'm sure there is away, but it's out of my scope of knowledge of Ty flow.

So, I gave up on that workflow.

Much appreciated the input.
