For the most part this works, the "set" button which sets a new position for emitters only works if one pSet is present in a scene, thats an issue im trying to sort out, the emitter panal needs some formating and tidying up, but it works and will hopefully help me correct the set button issue.

pRigger - procedure pRiggerCreate

Finished my first alpha procedure for the partical rigger, in short what it does when placed in the master script, is create locators, emitters and particals along with a root control for the rig, which it then parents them all up every creation cycle (cc).

emitters & particals >>>> locators >>>> rootControl >>>> pSet(group)>>>>root(group)

only one "pSet" and "rootControl" is created per cc and only one "root" is created per scene but the number of emitters attached to to a rootControl is currently unlimited.
Some minor tweaks need to the code itself, mostly renaming variables and such, formating and ive probably missed a couple of random variables that need deleting, its only an alpha code at the moment so it shouldnt matter too much, enjoy;
