Yeap, you just need to use your goalWorldNormal0PP instead of velocity in the angleBetween formula I wrote above. And I think goalWorldNormal0PP won’t get generated at birth, so put this script into runtime expression instead of creation.

Your script works beautifully. Thank you so much for making it available. I very often have to create instances on a surface which is the goal of the particles. The instances Aim Direction is connected to Goal World Normal 0 PP so that they get oriented along the surface normal. Is there a way to transfer the instances orientation to the Rotation channel so that your script evaluates it?

Thank you!

Good that everything is working eventually.

Script bakes rotations, but from ‘Rotation’ channel only – no aims. There’s a mention about that in notes above. So, if you have it mapped – everything should be fine, if you use aims – you should try to convert them into rotations for baking or rotate baked objects afterward.

This tool is really neat at creating objects that translates along with the instanced objects, my question now is… it is possible for it to simulate the rotation of each instanced object/particle as well?

well I guess you could just delete my posts, I got it to work now for some odd reason. = /

Thanks for the help btw.
