just delete a freaking point

[kleer001]

Hitting my head against the simplest python syntax. here's my code:

What am I doing wrong?! What little thing am I missing?

import random

node = hou.pwd()
geom = node.geometry()
for point in geom.points():
    rando = random.random()
    if rando < 0.5:
        geom.deletePoints([geom.iterPoints()[point.number()]])

**SOLVED**

 

The trick is to create a list before the loop, append points to that list, then delete the contents after the loop. Or just do it in a wrangle SOP as that's faster.

import random

node = hou.pwd()
geom = node.geometry()
ptstodelete = []
for point in geom.points():
    rando = random.random()
    if rando < 0.5 :
        ptstodelete.append( point )
geom.deletePoints( ptstodelete )
