VEX project to a nearest point in surface

Hey :)

The nearpoint() expression lets you find the pointnumbers of other geometry nearby.
*If you instead want to get the closest location on the surface, you probably want to use the xyzdist() function.
*Otherwise, if you want to get the position directly underneath (in a specific direction, no matter the angle of the other surface)
you can use the intersect() function.
