Particles sharing the same ID

Particles sharing the same ID

I've seen it with Initial States

I'll try to explain:

Particle with ID 8 was emitted at frame 10
Initial state was set at frame 10 so particle ID 8 is now present at frame 1

When the playback head reached frame 10 another particle with ID 8 was emitted

The docs say that particle IDs are unique and it's only indices that are
recycled, however that wasn't the case.

I'm afraid I can't help with emission events

 Jordi, didn't you have something like this a while back, something about
particles being re-used in emission events?

   I spoke to fast! Have a look at this:
   'INFO : Particle_ID 0 belongs to pType 0

   'INFO : Particle_ID 1 belongs to pType 0

   'INFO : Particle_ID 3 belongs to pType 0

   'INFO : Particle_ID 3 belongs to pType 0

   'INFO : Particle_ID 5 belongs to pType 0

   'INFO : Particle_ID 6 belongs to pType 0

   'INFO : Particle_ID 6 belongs to pType 0

   Lines in red are actually 4 different particles... not good at all !
