Why would pCont.getParticlePosition(i) not work? It did for me. Also, wouldn’t pCont.ParticlePosition only work for the first particle of the set? I t…

I just tried it, and it works fine for me. I can access the parameter through $box01.Custom_Attribute.param1, or just $box01.param1. With the dependsO…

Don’t worry (either of you), I’m not offended or anything. It takes a lot to offend me . I posted it on the discreet thread, so we will see what they…
