Hi strange problem, perhaps due to ignorance. If i create one default nParticle emitter (default emitter) with the lifespan set to constant = 1 and then link this to one default fluid container as an object emitter everything works as expected. Particles are continually born and poor through the fluid container. If I create a second fluid container and link the same nparticle to this as an object emitter this is when the problem occurs.

Fluid is emitted in both containers from the nparticles, however as soon as two fluid containers are hooked up the nparticles stop emitting after a short time. If i turn off one of the fluid containers everything works as expected again.

Anyone have any insight into this i fail to see why the emitter works as expected when hooked to one fluid container but stops emitting particles after a short time when hooked to two.

BTW if i turn the nParticle lifespan to Live forever this also works it’s just with the lifespan mode set to constant, ratePP or random the problem occurs

Any help gladly appreciated.
Thanks
