Generating splines between particle positions

where do u live i will gladly

where do u live i will gladly buy u beer :)

a few questions:

1) unfortunately i cannot edit this spline, even when i put an EditSpline on it?
is it because it does not have a name?

2) do you know how i can connect the spline knots in a different way, it is connecting them by particleID, is there a way to randomize the IDs before making the spline? (or after?)

i found a script which has some random parameters, maybe we could randomize the particle IDs after they have been collected?
--------------------------------------------------------
m = instance s_objs[random 1 s_objs.count]

m.scale *= (random 1 1)

Rotate m (angleaxis (random 0 4) [0,0,1])
----------------------------------------------------------------

THanks alREADY ALOT!
i will try to make it up to you :)

i have tried to put your code in the other script, of course that doesnt work :) / no "get" function for undefined
