Hello there, I have been attempting to create an effect in which pyro is attracted to the surface of an object separate from the emission source. I need the pyro to to be attracted to the surface of this object and in turn resemble the object but in pyro form.

I have tried many methods and have found the most success by using negative divergence but this makes the pyro go to the object and only attract to a single point and then disappear creating a kind of vacuum effect.

This seems to be a simple concept but I am stumped, does anyone have a solution to this ??
