Sometimes it is necessary to access one or more individual particles to
apply some changes to it or delete it. thinkingParticles offers several
methods to handle this task including the PSelection
Operator.
To use this operator, a user will select one or more particle IDs to affect.
Whenever the rule for this operator becomes true, all connected operators
or conditions will also become activated and evaluated.
It is strongly recommended that you use only one Initiator within a DynamicSet. When a second initiator in a DynamicSet is available, it might interfere with the logic and processing within the rule set.
ON - (Bool) This input data
stream determines whether the operator is considered 'on' or 'off.' You
can connect other operators to this input channel such as a Bool
Helper to activate/deactivate the whole operator.
Time - (Time) This input data stream is used to define the local
time for the operator when the user wants to override the default system
time.
Particle - (Particle) This
output data stream sends the selected particles out to another node.
ADD - Click this button to add a particle ID to the list of particles
that should trigger the PSelection initiator. You may type in any ID or
use the spinner to change the number that is added to the list.
DEL - To remove a particle ID from the list, highlight the number
in the list, then press this button.
Particle ID - Use this spinner to type in any particle ID number
that should be used to trigger the PSelection initiator.
