Hi, how can I get the position of particles emitted from particle flow, every particle have an ID so I assume there is a way to get the position of a specific particle by using the IDs?

Thanks

Maxscript help file – Particle Flow Sample Scripts

You will find a bunch of examples, some really specific for particle positions.

Long story short you either need a script operator or a birth operator, depending on your needs, get the particle index, get/set position for the current particle index. In pseudo-code something like this:

for index in total number of particles
…current particle index = index
…pos = current particle position

Hope this helps, cheers.
