Why do you want only the corner points?

 

You could use the explode component to get the corner points of the cell outlines. If you don't want duplicate points, you can use the remove duplicates component from the Kangaroo plugin.

When using the Kangaroo DupPt component make sure you set the tolerance t = 0.0001 instead of 0. otherwise you might find that some creep through as a result of round errors.

Alternatively if you don't have Kangaroo you can use the Create Set component from the Sets Tab > Sets Panel.

Or use a rectangular grid in which x or y spacing is √3 times bigger than the other if you want to stick to equilateral triangle.

The expression is: Sy*sqrt(3)

Merge is under Sets>Tree. You can always double click on canvas and type.
