Hi!
Have you checked if "use size for collision" in the Environment Tab is
activated (or not) might be something related to that?

Subject: Particle collision event problem
Greetings,
I am setting up a simple rain simulation that is composed of two ptypes.
The first are the long streaks that are emitted from a grid above the
scene, the second is the splash ptype emitted via a Emit and Disappear
collision event when the rain streaks collide with an object. When the
streaks collide with an object the splash ptype seems to emit from the
top of streak, causing the splashes to appear above the collision
object. I would ideally like the splash ptype to emit from the point of
collision (the bottom of the streak). I've tried rotating the ptype
billboard 180 degrees, but this does not help. I've also tried various
collision settings with both the ptype and the collision objects to no
avail. Could anyone help me out of this quandary?
Thanks,
Brad
