I am using an emit command in the per particle editor to emit new particles. This expression is in the per particle attribute editor of nParticle1.

$particleName = nParticle2 ;
emit -o $particleName ;

My expression works fine. What I am trying to do is I would like to reference nParticle2 in a string attribute channel box.

I thought I could add a string attribute on nParticle1. Name of the attribute : myNewParticle.

I tried this in the perParticle attribute editor:

$particleName = nParticle1.myNewParticle ;
emit -o $particleName ;

But this doesn't work. Also I tried: 

$particleName = nParticle1.myNewParticle ;
emit -at $particleName ;

But it seems that I have to have an object flag.

I would like to be able to access the name of the new particle because I am building a GUI and if the user change the name of the new particle, it is easy to change their name without the need to open the per particle attribute editor.

Can someone help me to find the right documentation or know how I could to this?

I don't think so you can do in single argument but you can try this

emit -object $particleName -at myNewParticle; Check this doc
