Hi, I'm currently learning about VEX & VOPs so far. So what I'm trying to do is to achieve a similar wave-like animation on the sphere red primitive faces. I tried using set() function on the boxes, it's on the point position and not the prim-face. So how do I place the boxes on the primitive faces that I group and extruded?

I think I understand what you're after; try this. You can achieve that effect in way less nodes.

Heh, its a really fun idea.

Added controls for speed and to drive the frequency of the sine wave:

Thanks! This is what I wanted to achieve
Also thanks for all the VEX examples you've made so far.
