i am finishing the stretchy-leg setup from the Inside Maya Book, but everytime I try to switch the plusMinusAverage1 node function from sum to substract, before making any connections, i get a runtime error and Maya crashes.... !*&^@&*^

I tried connecting and then switching function... same deal....

any ideas?

I was told an alternative workaround on another board. I wanted to share it just in case somebody else runs into the same predicament. (This happened on Maya v 6.0):

Use the Channel Control and make the attribute keyable and imput through the channel box.

OR

Use mel:

setAttr "plusMinusAverage1.operation" 0; //for no operation
setAttr "plusMinusAverage1.operation" 1; //for sum
setAttr "plusMinusAverage1.operation" 2; //for subtract
setAttr "plusMinusAverage1.operation" 3; //for average

Both ways worked for me.
Cheers!

I think this was one of the fixes in 6.01
