kangaroo CollideSurf (not colliding)

Hello,

I am struggling with getting the CollideSurf component working.

I have a point and a cloud of points. I am using the PLaw component to either attract the cloud to the point, or repulse the cloud from the point.

Also I am trying to collide the cloud of points in between the force with a few boxes.

Everything works perfectly fine when the PLaw force is an attraction. BUT when I change the force to repulsion, the CollideSurf no longer works.

Attached are two images showing both cases.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this could be happening?

Hi Adam,

Are you sure the particles are not just going over or under the boxes ?

Repulsion would cause the particles to spread out more in height, and which might not be obvious when looking in 2D.

If this isn't the problem, then can you post the definition and I'll take a look

Well, don't I feel like an idiot.

Thanks for the reality check Daniel, that certainly was the "problem."
