Hi!

I followed an entagma tutorial on growing vines. I would like to know how to use VEX to:

a: find all the biggest ptnum of each curve
b: group them so I can use the copy sop on that group (I never learned how to group an integer list)

Thanks!

Pointwrangle SOP:
i@group_ends = vertexprimindex(0, @vtxnum) == primvertexcount(0, @primnum)-1;

or Group Expression SOP over Points
vertexprimindex(0, @vtxnum) == primvertexcount(0, @primnum)-1;

and of course you'll have to have proper instancing attributes like orient on your points to get stable transform on leaves

Works nicely!

Now, I'll try to fully comprehend this. I guess the one thing I really don't get is the “==”.

Thanks for your help!!

==
means equal to, whereas just one

=
is an assignment.
