Hello!

I am currently working on a scene, where I would like to separate the particles, which is collide with an object, and I would like to ask your help. I have a Square emitter, and a Container and an object which is moving.
When the Square emitter particle collide with the object, transfer it to the Container emitter. If there is some filter daemon option or other possible solution without python it would also be great.
I attach my basics of the code:



I don't know which code will do this for me in the loop. I checked the scripting reference, but I can't find anything good in PB Emitter page.

Thank you, and have a great day!

You can do it either way. The filter daemon would be faster in most cases.

I think the filter daemon settings should be something like:

Source Emitters: Square
Target Emitters: Container
Condition: On particle collision

--------

If this doesn't work for you I'll complete your script.

I tried it, but I had problems. The whole project is going on inside a cube. Therefore, the particles will collide with the inside parts of the cube. I tried to make exemtions with many filter daemon to this way:

1. Filter - On particle collision from the Square to the Container
2. Filter - If the particle get lower/greater than a specified X/Y/Z value, than send back from Container to the Square. /this xyz values are close to the inside borders of the cube/

All the emitters have the same parameters in everything, but when I did it this way, the particles will explode in some areas even high substep values. Can I use some options in the filter daemon, to consider just the wanted obejct in collision detection?

thanks bolek. I watched all of the sources you gave.
I would like to use filter daemon, because of the simulation speed. I attached a sample file, when I get the problem. I use two filters. First one is particle collide, and the other one is a posY filter, to send back the particles which is collide with the floor. As you can see, the particles until colliding to the sphere is good, but after that some particles will explode. Do you know why?

I would like to do it with filters, instead of the slow python version, but if I don't have a chance to do it this way, I will get a deeper look at the scripted version.

or maybe check this one: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=8288
It's an really easy script and it's based on an example script from the manual.
It is example 3 in the pb_particle scripting reference.

thanks chrispan! I have done it that way, and it worked! It is a little bit slower but much easier method. I think the filter daemon is a really awesome feature, but it would be better, if the colliding objects could be selected.

cool. yeah I thought the same about the filter. maybe some changes in RF 2013

Hi



This is also why I added that feature in the IoKillObject plugin. In the current verison one object can be selected and particles can either be killed or transferred, but you can instead apply multiple plugins to the same emitter.

The next version however will support multiple objects and also other emitters.
