[QUESTION] Alternative to Add Normals as in Old Point node?

[neblina]

Hello everyone!

Please see the picture attached. In the "old" Point node is possible to simply "Add Normals", make operations like subtracting vectors. I'm just beginning Houdini, so I apologise if this is dumb or extremely simple. How would you go on to achieve the same results without using the old Point node?

The setup is simple, this is a subnet, and the Switch is connected to a toggle on the upper level. When this is on, the user has the ability to control a handle and the point normals would "point at it / follow it".

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Let's assume we're at the origin, you have a object and a point representing your handle.

Let's make there normal there position, normalized.

@N = normalize(@P);

Put object into first input of another wrangle, the point into the second.

@N = @N - point(1,"N",@ptnum);

The N of your object should point towards the point now
