Heya -

(Apologies if this has been asked before)

Using a collision POP, how would I “switch” particles from stick to
slide, so after a certain time particles that were stuck, start sliding
off the mesh?

Thanks -

You could use an if statement based on $LIFE ie if($LIFE<1 , 1 , 0)

Where would I put that conditional tho? I am assuming that 1 would be $STUCK and 0 is $SLIDE?

I “solved” this with a hack where I split the stuck particles based on $AGE, and then collide-slide those newly split particles - but I would still be interested in finding out how to do this with the expression suggested above.

Hi Kevin,

The main control over this is in the “state” pop where you can change the states.
Various ways of affecting it in this scene file (the switch shows different trigger mechanisms):

Works like a charm. Thanks!
