VEX setting attributes of newly created point

[dukenukem]

Hello, I'm still learning, so hopefully this is an easy answer:

How do you set attributes / groups of a newly created point when using addpoint() ?

i have this in an attribwrangle

if(inpointgroup(geoself(), "movingPoints", @ptnum)){
     addpoint(geoself(), @P);
     i@group_asdf = 1;
    
    }

but it just sets all the points to have that new group "asdf", I'm trying to figure out how to set the group only for that point that I just created.

I basically just want to define some attributes and groups during the creation of that new point.

Please help! thanks (:

Try to modify the code with this:

int newpt = addpoint(0, @P);
setpointgroup(0, "asdf", newpt, true);
