pretty much yes, no need for a vertex map , just set the data as an attribute on the geometry with a closest location to curve tangent and in the particles use get closest location to read the vector attribute back off and apply it as a force. a few multiplies needed to balance out the opposing forces etc. I would include the scene normally but it literally took 5 minutes to setup so its best left to learn this technique its very effective. if you also multiply the effect by distance to the surface it won't snap in place like my example did :) Thanks to Paul Smith for bringing it up in the first place! cheers Rob
