Re: particle instance bug

You could directly script a pEvent that set the particle life to 1 based on your producton rules, or create a  bounding box and have collision event that kills the particles.

Hum, that's an annoying one...

Could you undo your manual delete with the history stack then note the IDs you have deleted and kill them with a pEvent instead.

It should work flawlessly as long as you make sure you delete them by

IDs not Indexes. Use the Show IDs in viewport visibility option for

that.

have you tried plotting the particles and attaching elements to the

plotted nulls?

i think brad had some stuff up on cg soup to manage that workflow?

Anyone have a workaround for this bug I'm getting.  I have a particle

cloud with particle instances applied.  Tagging and deleting some of

the particles  results in particle instances flickering on and off in

the view port and render.  This must be a particle ID bug but I'm

looking for a workaround.  Any ideas?
