Hi,
I tried your tips but no joy yet. If that scene is handy I wouldn't mind a
pointer.
Ta much,
Adam.
(waiting for the obvious but elusive solution)

hey Adam.. I ran into this very problem on a previous project and it anooyed
me to no end, especially when getting in tight on a shot of the ground.
I seem to remember that the min max speed or velocities thats usually set to
0 and 100000 were the culprits..
As soon as a I brought the ranges within the actual speed as defined in the
emission ppg, the collisions worked..
Also made sure to check off. Use size for collisions.
If that doesn't do the trick, lety me know, and I can dig back into that old
scene and get the right settings for you..
I was attempting the very same rain type shot.
I thought that I would need a scripted particle event, but it turns out not
to be the case.
Adam
