Smoke, Fire, Sparkles, and the new Custom Particles all are simple ways to make games much more detailed, like dynamic lighting. However, having obstructions that the particles cannot pass through will make billowing smoke, rain, snow, leaves, or spreading fires more complex and realistic. At the moment, people have to work around the lack of Obstructions as an attempt to make it more realistic, but that ends up making more emitters and parts than needed. Obstructions would like the Shadows option for Point/Spotlights, but for particles and particle emitters.

Well you can script this, but if you really need to, then support.

Support! I don't see how this can be scripted.

It's quite simple, just put a script into the part that you want to remove the particle and then make it so once a particle touches it, it removes it.

@Simply I get what you mean but I am just starting to understand scripting, and "scriptable" is always a valid answer, but it would be simpler and more convenient to just have a property for it instead of scripts. Or if you could find a model or example of what you're talking about

Support. @SimplyRemove Please at least do some research into it, or properly learn how to script, before calling things scriptable. The .Touched event does not register particles. You can go out and search for one in the object browser if you believe there is, but make sure to at least test it.
