that would work if all the particles were the same size..., but the're not
basicly i need the new particle to look at it's own size and move itself half
that distance in y.. this should be simple.. but i have no idea how to position
a particle using scripting... or how to get the size
I had a look at the demoscene in the scripting help, but that went way over my
head..

   unless you also duplicate the original cloud, make it not render and move
it up so it gives birth to the secondary particles you want.

     From the event, the new particle could be half the size of the original.
     A small script would be needed to offset the position.
