adjacent triangles not deleting

[bonassus]

Can anyone tell me why this happens? I divided some quads from a grid. In a foreach loop i grouped prims with 3 points:

if(npoints(0)==3){
f@group_delete = @ptnum;
}

but it only adds half of the triangles to the group. If i do npoints()==4 no prims are added to the group. If i do unique points before the loop only some of the quads are added. 

I suspected that this has to do with vertex numbers v.s. point numbers. so i tried primvertexcount() but got the same result. 

how can i remove all triangles from this geo?

 

thanks

ahh I think the way you assign points to the group is not entirely correct.

@group_delete = 1; // this assigns the CURRENT processed primitive to the group
@group_delete = @ptnum; // this assigns the CURRENT processed primitive to the group, if the point number is not equal to 0 (for 0 the boolean is false)

what I do know is that you do not really need to use a forloop here.
when you set a wrangle to run over primitives, you can query for the local vertex counts too.

so you can simplify your code to the following, and it does not even need to be in a forloop this way (but should still work if it is):

@group_delete = (@numvtx == 3);
