Hi guys,

This might be a really stupid question ... but here goes.

I have a cached simulation particles cloud that I am reading into a clean scene. (no simulation just reading the cache files). Is it possible to create a new empty cloud and duplicate some particles from the cached cloud based on a test (a proximity to geometry test in this case).

Essentially I want to suck particles from the cached cloud towards geometry ... I figure I have to make a new cloud to do this. I would love to use move towards goal, but the self.emitlocation within the compound is red because there is no emitter on a cached cloud. And the Self.CollisionLocation inside that compound is also invalid.

Thanks

D
