I am using near point/expression, but for each point on the loop it return itself, so when it get to the loops grabs point zero position and look for the closest point, and that same point been exactly at the same place it pick up as the closest,

I was expecting the “near point” to look for the nearest point excluding itself(the current point in the loop)

in my example for point zero the closest point is number 10



this is my hip example, how can I find the near point using the same geometry?


(later on I want to be able to select the nearest if they belong to a group, that way I can find the closest root to each root)

there is a proximity node inside pops basically that's what I want but with out having to cache it by frames

Use nearpoints instead, and grab the second element from the array.
