Hey Thanks Allan.

I am not Maxscript savvy but.. if I may? I am still curious how this script is working

When would time be less than zero?

I would think it would be “less than or equal to”??

Just curious.

Thanks for all of your tuts over the years by the way. I struggle with afterburn regularly and they help a lot. I wish I could afford your DVD series!

Hi Jona, sorry if I missed your question – are you referring to the pflow script? It should be if the frame is less than 0 rather than greater, so maybe that was a mistake – I will try to look through the video later today if I have time. The idea is that you want to say if the value is equal or less than 0 – so that the script will only execute that block of code on the very first frame.

Here is another example that should be similar to the above example:

on Proceed pCont do
(
t = pCont.getTimeStart() as float

if t < 0 do
(
NumChunks = HouseChunks.count

for i = 1 to NumChunks do
(
pCont.AddParticle()
pCont.particleIndex = pCont.NumParticles()
pCont.particleAge = 0
pCont.particleTM = HouseChunks[i].transform
pCont.particleShape = HouseChunks[i].mesh
)
)
)

I’m a bit slow at responding to comments as I get spammed 100+ times a week, so I usually fish through the spam every once in a while to look for comments. I will soon assign someone else to take care of this and flag what posts are legit so I can respond quicker. But hopefully that example clarifies everything

I’m sorry you didn’t respond to my simple question. Your script says “if t is LESS THAN 0 ” and you say ” if t is GREATER than 0″ Kinda threw me there..

How did that work?

Hi, thx for everything, great tuts and inspiring ideas from your website =D, I got a question, I hope this does not bother you, I want to achieve an effect like that of T2: Judgement Day, which means that the particles (not necessarily liquid) form an object, I can do it backwards, but I wondered if I could use another method.

PD: sorry for my english. ><
