Hi All , does anyone have any ideas how I could orient clustered pyro containers to points with a up vector and normal using the position dop ?.

Well to make it more interesting Ive solved part of the puzzle in dops using a point position dop which rotates the fluid box using n and up :shock: and to get it to move along the curve I am just using $F which looks up the point number. So to cluster this really all I need to know really is how could I look up a custom point attribute and use that to define which point my fluid box uses.

I was playing around with this file and I ended up with this. I'm not sure if this is what you wanted, but I think it is a useful concept.
