Hi All,

I’m trying to make a hair particle system respond to a magnetic force field, but I can’t get it to work. Hair and particles appear to act similarly in response to most fields (e.g. wind), but hair does not seem to respond at all to a magnetic field. Are there any known issues here?

The magnetic force depends on the speed of the particles, presumably because hair has no speed it won’t have any effect
