# Stick

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Stick modifier** of the particle system in **Cinema 4D**. On surface contact, particles slow down or adhere — snow settling on roofs, drops clinging to glass — optionally switching groups to trigger follow-up behavior.

This function has parallels to the *Collide Modifier*, as collisions of particles with dynamic objects can also be queried here and used for a group change, for example. At the same time, however, the behavior of the particles is changed when they come into contact with a surface. This mainly concerns the speed of the particles and how they are affected by other forces. This means that particles can literally stick to a surface. The strength of this adhesive force can be changed at any time using the Modifier, for example to allow the particles to drip off a surface with which they have previously collided.

The following video shows these effects. Particles hit a sphere, remain stuck there for a certain time, then slide off and finally lose contact with the sphere again. This behavior is achieved by the *Stick Modifier* in different variants, which changes the holding force of the particles on the surface over time.
