I'm doing an older tutorial that uses the old point sop.....
Its animating pscale via sin($PT/5+$F*5)
I'm trying to get this to work via a wrangle and it kind of works but doesn't continue to modify the pscale.

any ideas?

This is a vex snippet and not an hscript expression so you cannot use $F.
Use @Frame (or @Time so that your animation is not framerate dependant).

Yup, that did it! Thank you so much.
