# Condition

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Condition object** of the particle system in **Cinema 4D**. It filters particles by logical comparisons on their properties, so subordinated Forces and Modifiers act only on the matching subset — the if-statement of particle setups.

This enables logical comparisons to be made between various read-out particle properties and the user's own values, allowing certain particles in a group to be sorted out. These particles can then be processed, for example, by *Modifiers*, *Forces* or other *Conditions* that are grouped directly under the *Condition*.
