(Solved)POP: start age for each particle activated HELP

[gangland]

Hello guys, i ve a simple pop simulation running by an attribute active.

after they are active they fall and i would like to give them some noise (based on age) by using pop wind

however the age still applying globally, and the older one who was last activated begin already with the same age of all.

how i suppose the begin age counting for each particle who is activated??

ps: to exemple i attach an simple hip file

age_v001.hip

if I understood correctly what you want - in your wrangle inside the pop network just add

if (@active == 0){
    @mass=0;
   @age = 0;` 
}

one thing that still happen is the particles that begin moving start all with same age.

the ideia is that each particle that has begin to move has an incresing number like age or so

that is what is happening, look at the spreadsheet and you can also just put a pop color in ramp mode and do `ramp = @age;` and you will see it another representation or outside of the popnet as well, use a visualization node.

float incr = @TimeInc/2;
if (@active != 0)
{
    f@new_age += incr;
}

you can create new variable new_age to drive pop wind.

how is that different from sepu's solution apart from adding unnecessary attribute?

there is no difference, final results are the same.

that was more question for Gabriel since he implied that sepu's version didn't produce the expected result
