Making a suction effect

in Working with GS (Mac)
Is it possible to spawn particles at a distance, spread apart and making them all gather at the same position?
I have bubbles and i would like them to form a suction effect but i dont know how.
I guess by using the "direction" and the actors pos, but i dont know how to code it.

Help much appreciated :)

    Cant you use spawn particles to make the suction effect?
    Cause its just for looks i need it, the bubbles have no function

    We just did this effect for one the instances in our game. Let's see if I can get FryingBaconStudios to help out since he did the coding on this. Yo @FryingBaconStudios can you drop your 2 cents into this inquiry?

    Much appreciated if you could!
    I managed to make like a cube of bubbles going in the right direction, but the cone/triangle effect would totally nail it!

    I used a move to behavior with rules that as it gets closer the speed increases. You will need to spawn as the actors need rules inside them and particles only use images.
