primpoints hELP

[MitchFields]

I have multiple lines, 25 primitives all containing a wide range of points. I want to append each point to a group depending on the primitive number.

My initial code looks like this,

int poop[] = primpoints(0,0) 

foreach(int i; poop) {

i@group_primnum_0 = 1;

}

This function grabs all of my points, when I only want specific points for each primitive to create groups out of.

How can I make this procedural to loop over all of my primitives and assign each array it's own group id? 

Thanks!

something like this? (Point Wrangle)

setpointgroup(0, sprintf("primnum_%g", @primnum), @ptnum, 1);

Oof I knew there was a way to use sprintf, this is assigning groups and then appending the prim id to the end of the group right? Does setpointgroup work the same way i@group does? Thanks!

[anim]

this is essentially generating group name based on the primnum that the current point belongs to

then just adds the current point to the group of such name

 

i@group_groupname is usually more convenient and direct way to assign current point to specific group however you can't set group membership to other group than "groupname" and to other point than current (@ptnum)

so in this case you want to use setpointgroup() because you can vary groupname per point if you want, also you'd want to use setpointgroup() if you want to set group membership to other point than current

Ahhhhh okay I see, thank you Tomas. I've gotta get out of my comfort zone and start using setpointgroup more often. Thanks!!!
