Hi Gerbrand...
I did something similar for a crowd-sim. Take your master particle, add a new
event; right click to inspect [make it trigger based on distance (eg: X
Position; also turn it to "emit"] and click "create" under "Source".
Repeat this until you have as many particles as you want then change each of
the new particles' render properties to sprite and link in your rgbs.
Take a null and give it an X positional expression like this: RAND( 12, 1, 15
) where 12 is a seed and 15 is the number of new particle triggers you've
created. Then set an expression on the "Mute" parameter for each of the PEvents
with something like:
1 - null.kine.global.posx [PEvent1]
2 - null.kine.global.posx [PEvent2]
3 - null.kine.global.posx [PEvent3]
4 - null.kine.global.posx [PEvent4]
5 - null.kine.global.posx [PEvent5]
...
15 - null.kine.global.posx [PEvent15]
This will control which particle gets released at that given point in
distance that you set earlier.
Hope this gets you there.
Keith
