can't select @P.y with point function

[GergelyP]

Hey guys,

So today I tried getting a point's .y position but it gives a value of 0 for some reason. In the attached picture you can see the code that I tried to run. When I use the "P" then it gives the correct vector for the position, but when I want to just get the .Y value(should be something around 1), it stopped working. Is it because I can't use the "P.y" expression in the point function?

You can do 

vector h = point(1, "P", @ptnum);

f@height = h.y;

or with opinput

f@height = v@opinput1_P.y;

Yes, you can't use subscript as attribute name, you have to do it after you read the proper attribute type. In this case vector, and then access the Y component.

Thanks for the answer.

Thank you, I figured out the first option, I was just wondering if there was a way to access it directly.
