How to delete particles before whitewater source?

Hi,

I'm trying to delete particles based on how many particles are in it's proximity using the pcfind VEX Expression. The idea is, to delete smaller droplets before they go into the whitewater source to prevent them from emitting whitewater. but after the wrangle node i get an error in the Whitewater source node?

 

Thanks

Here's my basic bare bones test...first time user...works.

Hi,

thanks for the response! Sorry I didn't make it very clear. I basically want to delete the points before they are sourced into the whitewater source node. but that gives me the error.

Hi, ah yes thankyou! How doI source the volumes into the whitewater source after the wrangle?

If you use DOP Import Fields SPOP, make sure you also import vel and surface from your dopnet before caching the result. If you cached them separately, then just merge them into the same stream before whitewater source.

Sorry I'm confused xD  I've cached out the sim which includes the vel and surface volumes. They are there in the object merge before the wrangle node, which is referring to the imported cache. But after the wrangle they disappear? Is there a way I can read the volumes from the cache and then merge them into the stream?

I've attached my scene file.

Thank you for your help I really appreciate it, sorry to be a pain.
