Hi airline-spray,

Thanks for the feedback. Please consider every question that leads to a solution, no matter the complexity, might be something that helps others. So, please never hesitate to share your question. I understand your point, you have set up a Major Feature Film Level VFX Effect, and then that tiny little problem seems to be in contrast to it. I think we all have been there …

You ask for a different way, Noseman often suggest to contact him on X, perhaps something to consider: @nosemangr

There are a lot of resources; the question is always what fits you.

Maxon on YouTube
Noseman runs the Ask The Trainer show twice a month, and questions are even preferred beforehand, during the live stream; they are welcomed. He is surely the go-to specialist for anything Simulation (but not limited to this)
Most shows that cover those themes are timestamped to avoid endless timeslider manipulation

To make this point, Athanasios Pozantzis AKA Noseman, has a few series worth watching

The manual is mostly designed to set it up as intended by the developer, but of course, this is not a solution for problem-solving.

Tech support is for anything, as the name suggests, technical. In short, things that need more than creative problem-solving.

Some thoughts
.
Search engines send their bots often to visit the Forum, and an internet search often leads to the YouTube Channels or back to the forum. Thanks to all the questions asked - so thank you.

My method is most of the time to check if there's a simpler setup, and not just tell what to do. Since I have been doing this since 2004, I have collected a few ideas to provide more than just do this, do that answers. I want everyone to feel empowered afterwards. It makes me happy when things grow and work.

I hope my text was inviting enough.

Happy Holidays
