If you look at the hairGenOp which creates the hair, the number of ports on the operator will tell you if the hair emits from a cluster or from an object, and if cluster based, which cluster it emitted from.  If the operator has more than 4 input ports, it emits from a cluster and InputPorts(3).Target2 gives you the cluster the hair emits from.

Hey Guys,

 

How is the hair related to the Cluster it creates on generation?  How would you call up the relation in the script editor?  It?s not a parent to child relationship so I can?t call up hierarchy.  I know its not listed as a parameter.  How in the hell can I call it up????
