MODPATH particles are grouped into sets. For each set, specify the name of the set, the tracking direction, the tracking duration, and if the particles in the set should be displayed. | |||
Grouping particles into sets increases the power and flexibility of particle tracking. For example, several particle sets, some tracking backward and some forward can all be displayed at once. Or, several particle sets, each with different tracking times, can all be displayed at the same time. This can be used to show nested capture zones. | Grouping particles into sets increases the power and flexibility of particle tracking.

Whenever particles are created, they are added to the active particle set. Particles can only be deleted from the active particle set—to delete particles in a particle set that is not active, it's necessary first make it active. | ||

Thus, particle sets that are listed at the top are displayed on top of particle sets listed further down. The order can be changed by dragging the particle sets. | ||
