I'm using a birth attribute created before the POPNET in the POPNET and awaiting the updated value after POPNET. How do I ensure the POPNET exports all of the point data generated inside it. I can see the age, but birth attribute is not updated. I have initialised it before the POPNET with pointwrangle i@birth = -1; and then inside the popnet in a popwrangle I ask it gently to take the value of the @Frame when age=0, but I keep getting -1 which is from before the POPNET. Do you have any idea how to get the value of the birth attribute updated and exported by the POPNET? hip file attached birth_attribute_out_of_popnet.hiplc

Hi all, I'm setting up a basic missile trails test, where the missiles are emitted by one popnet "missiles", and the trails from a second popnet "trails" I'd like a consistent amount of particles per missile as more are fired, so after some reading around I set up npoints("obj/geo1/xxxxx") in the Impulse Count for the trails popnet. However, npoints consistently evaluates to 0. I tried pointing it to a poly sphere instead of the "missiles" popnet, and it still evaluates to 0. Any suggestions? I found this on H16 build 504, updated to 557, no change. npoints.hipnc
