Creating a force array in vex

[arda3d]

Hi all,

 

I am struggling to write a force array per particle, i have an float array per particle named "upforce" and i want to use this array as my "y" force. Any tips?

 

Thanks

I don't understand.. a force is a vector so if you just want to modify the y-component of that forcevector you cannot use an array. You can only use a single element of that array.

The thing is, i want to apply a force per point..

yes sure. you can do something like this:

float upforce = fit01(rand(@id), ch("min_force"), ch("max_force"));

v@force = set(0, upforce, 0);
