nDynamics emission direction

hello. i have created an emitter, set the direction of emission x 0, y -1, z 0, but it emits in both y 1/-1. how can i configure it to emit only in y -1 direction?

Do you have the particles set to self-collide? It is possible that they are colliding with each other as they are born and shooting in the opposite direction. Just a guess.

no, self collision is off. particles are just streaming in both directions.

it is set to directional. the emitter is emitting not in all directions, but only in y 1/-1.

solved. speed random attribute was set too high. and that caused two streams in both directions somehow.
