OK, thanks guys... I guess I'll just rewrite the forces from within the operator... at least this way, I can reuse the same code next time I have to do something similar so it's more work this time around but I'll be able to recycle it later on. Thanks for the info!

don't forget doubling up the cloud and looking up the simulated one to
add on top of it.
not pretty, fugly infact, but will spare you from a few headaches in
some cases.
