Repelling particles

[ÜberKiller 7.5k]

We have particles that can be attracted to certain entities, but can we also have it so that they can be repelled by certain ones as well? This would seem easy to accomplish and be helpful in a handful of scenarios.

first time i've seen this suggestion...

this would be the best thing ever!

 

just think, using particles we could create really good physics simulations...

You can repel particles. Just drag the attractor strength to negative value

Small update: Changing the values to something negative does nothing. It simply sends it in a southwest direct directed right at the ground as the negative value isn't set to do anything.
