Hi. Is there any way/Action that can make particles to flow throught a number of points from one to another? So after passing first point particle should target to second and so on.

There's no simple action for this. It's one of the ideas I have on my list for development, but don't know when I'll get to it. Meanwhile, there are two common methods for controlling the flow of ...

The first is to use the TweenToZone action to move the particles to a specific Zone. This can be followed by another TweenToZone action to move them to another Zone, etc. Zones can be any shape, including points, so while this is more work it is also more flexible than a simple flow between points. See this example for chaining TweenToZone actions.

The second option is to use CollisionZone actions to constrain the particles so they flow in a particular direction. This has been used by some developers to simulate water flow, for example, using multiple LineZones to constrain the flow. The CollisionZone action used to reside in the Collisions branch and was released into the main branch today with version 2.2.0.]]>
