I was thinking of maybe using the ouput from vector $a = `xform -q -ws -t polyVertex[1]` in the pos of the particle. if id =1, pos = $a.x,1,$a.z

but the matrix stuff is more complex
try it, i dont know if that works, sounds feasible

it does not work

xform is only for the transformation node
not for shape-information
like vertex-positions, i checked

you can use it to get vertex pos
wait, that did work...
dont know what i have done wrong, last time i tryed it did not work. Just did it again in order to get the error message

hmm i only read its for the transformation Node and that node is only for the whole object not for components, but if you say so

vector $posVert = `xform -q -ws -t pPlane1.vtx[1]`;
just added it in a loop, works like a dream Smile

dreams can very quickly turn into nightmares =(
