Q: I have an instantaneously emitted particle with a long lifetime that's supposed to attach to an object, but it's getting left behind when the object moves.
- A: Add a position_lock_to_controlpoint operator with a control point of 0. By default that control point is the emitter.
Q: When I used the rope render type, it flickers around for some reason!
