I'd like to snap the cone to the closest point on the sphere, along the direction {0, -1, 0}. Like this:
I know Ray SOP, but it snaps every point to the sphere:
I'd like to keep the cone as a cone. Is there a node to do this procedurally?
How to snap an object to another precedurally?

Check "Match Size" Sop
In this case Match Size SOP works, but I'd like to know how to make it more generic. For example when the ray I cast doesn't align with the world axes (e.g. {0.811, 0.32, 0.48}). I'm trying to make something just like Ray but only ray the closest point, and translate the rest of the geo accordingly. Is it possible?

Hi,
You can do it generically like this:
Find nearest point wrangle code:
Sort by dist attribute.
Move wrangle code:
You can do it generically like this:
Find nearest point wrangle code:
int pt = nearpoint ( 1, @P ); vector p = point ( 1, "P", pt ); @dist = distance2 ( @P, p ); i@nearpt = pt;
Sort by dist attribute.
Move wrangle code:
int pt = point ( 1, "nearpt", 0 ); vector p0 = point ( 1, "P", 0 ); vector p1 = point ( 2, "P", pt ); @P += p1 - p0;
