Kill motion

[Oldcode]

How about a function to stop all motion in particles for a truly calm initial state?

A lot better than waiting hours for a cup full of fluid to settle.

Hi. This can be done with scripting.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

But what I'd really like is something simple like a "Kill Velocity" button.

The only way that could be done is with scripting. A script could be made (and used as a button) which either brings up an emitter list window or affects all emitters. Then a mid range threshold could be used to slow down each particle.

There is a kSpeed Deamon, using the Limit and Keep option will not kill but settle particles. If you need that done from one frame to another, currently freeze() is the only option you've got.

Ah, of course. I forgot about the limit and keep. Ever since I've started scripting it seems no problem can be solved without scripting.

Thanks guys!

I'll try that.
