The Cache Tag holds the cached data for an X-Particles object.

Interface for the xpCache Tag.

Enable Cache

If an object is cached, its cached data will be used during playback, if this is checked.

To prevent use of the cached data without deleting it, uncheck this box.

If you have multiple cache tags on an object, the object will use the first cache tag which is enabled.

This allows you to switch between different caches very easily by checking or unchecking this box in the appropriate tags.

Lock Cache

Enabling this will 'lock' the cache on the object the tag is attached to.

This means is that if you now rebuild the cache, the object will not be re-cached; the existing cache will be preserved.

This will be enabled automatically if the 'padlock' icon in the xpCache object's list of cached objects is a blue, closed padlock.

Note: ****This does not prevent cache files on disk from being deleted if you click the Empty Cache button in the xpCache object.
