Change Orientation for Points

[CinnamonMetal]

I'm trying to orient some points from a POPNet, instead of setting the vector for the points; I want to physically re-position the points orientation. Within a POPWrangle I set the following;

vector PAngle = set(-1,0,0);
@N = PAngle;

This is incorrect as it simply sets the vector to -1 while the points remain the same orientation as they were; I'm assuming I need to set the matrix on the points ?

use the popLookAt node.

This operator modifies the orient, torque, targetw, and spinresist attributes.

Sorry, going to have to re-phrase the question, slightly different then what I intended

matrix sAngle = ident();
vector axis = {0,1,0};
float rrot = radians(ch("AngleDir"));
rotate(sAngle,rrot,axis);
@P *= sAngle;

To rotate my points I have to manually adjust my channel slider.  How can I make the channel slider the global channel slider which controls how much is rotated based on the velocity ?
