Making Mr. Mercury Liquid Follow a Path

Although you can't animate it on a path you can animate and control the direction that it travels. If you choose Directional as the Animation system. change the Direction value to 90 degrees and then play around with velocity and gravity to get the result you need. Also, to help gain control over the direction, reduce the Extra value to 0.

if you need particles that can move along a path or be controlled by a flow map check out Particular.

hope this helps

The effect itself does not offer any path tools. If you want that, you have to use other particle systems. As Rick said you can kinda clutz it together with distortion effects, but personally I would do it differently and not even use Mr. Mercury. Seems a lot of effort for nothing.
