What is control point normal

Also, when applying a dynamic particle attachment that constains orientation to a rod. How do i set the orientation which the rod is constrained to. Currently, when i run, the rod tries to flip 180 degrees around to face the opposite direction to what i want it to be oriented in.

As I indicated before, the normal controls rod orientation. You should set it to whatever you want/need, depending on how you want your rods to be oriented. Generally speaking, it should be orthogonal to the path's tangent.

By specifying the normal vector when creating the rod.

Then you need to negate  your normal vector.

cheers!
