Rain Drop splash effects

[Atma X]

How do I make a Rain Drop (a particle from the "Plane Particle" effect) stop & dissapear when it touches a solid object (I also need it to make a splash when it hits the ground, what's the best way to make this effect)?

Edit: Also, how would I make the Rain fall at an angle? (rather than just strait down)

- I think you just get the option to adjust the kill elevation

(I also need it to make a splash when it hits the ground, what's the best way to make this effect)?
-use anolther particle system, facing up


Edit: Also, how would I make the Rain fall at an angle? (rather than just strait down)
-add a Current object to the scene

here's a little test scene- hope it helps,
