move selected points with vex

[Follyx]

a nearpoint selection. I want to move the tagged points in a foreach loop in y direction. dont get it to work. Seems to be to basic... lol

geo 0 is a cube, 1 is a sphere.

...
int origin = chi("source");
vector pos = point(1, "P", origin);
float distance = ch("dist");
float height = ch("height")

int targets[] = nearpoints(0, pos, distance);

foreach(int pt; targets);
{
    setpointattrib(0, "Cd", pt, 1, "set");
    setpointattrib(0, "P.y", pt, height, "set");
    //@P.y = @height;
}
...

really, not able to figure it out. Wow.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You have to set P as a whole by using the original P so something like this:

vector origp = point ( 0, "P", pt );

vector pnew = set ( origp.x, height, origp.z );

setpointattrib ( 0, "P", pt, pnew );
