You probably want to look at a collision event procedure. You must set
it up to take three arguments:
global proc collisionProc (
string $partShape, // the particle object
int $id, // the id of the particle in question
string $geoShape // the geometry in the collision
)
{
print ("particle object: " + $partShape + "\n");
print ("with ID number: " + $id + "\n");
print ("is colliding with: " + $geoShape + "\n");
}
After that, add collisionProc to the Event Procedure field in the
Collision Events editor (or use the 'event' mel command).
Lemme know if you need any help with it.
