can't access Attr in Block of Code?

[john_homer]

to connect to a constraint its w (for weight) then a NUMBER (for index)

you had "W" then the letter "O" rather than the number "0"...

they look the same.. remember its an index.. if you had constrained it to 2 things, the next would be ($constraintName[0] + "." + "whatEverYouConstrainedTo" + "W1")

the below works, I just changed letters for numbers...

.j

// two objects to try out
polyCube -n pCube1;
polyCube -n pCube2;

// locator to control point constraint
spaceLocator;
string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;
rename $sel[0] specialtyController;


global proc gmConstrainToLocator (string $constrained, string $locName, string $spec){

select -cl;
string $constraintName[] = `pointConstraint -offset 0 0 0 -weight 0 $locName $constrained`;

select -cl;

addAttr -ln $spec -at double -min 0 -max 1 -dv 0 specialtyController;
setAttr -e -keyable true ("specialtyController." + $spec);

// SET DRIVEN KEY = not working
setDrivenKeyframe -dv 0 -v 0 -itt "flat" -ott "flat" -cd ("specialtyController." + $spec) ($constraintName[0] + "." + $locName + "W0");
setDrivenKeyframe -dv 1 -v 1 -itt "flat" -ott "flat" -cd ("specialtyController." + $spec) ($constraintName[0] + "." + $locName + "W0");

// CONNECT ATTR = not working
//connectAttr -f ("specialtyController." + $spec) ($constraintName[0] + "." + $locName + "W0");

// MANUAL ATTEMPT = not working
// connectAttr -f specialtyController.LGT pCube1_pointConstraint1.pCube2W0;


}

gmConstrainToLocator("pCube1", "pCube2", "abc");

Homer rocks again.

In Navajo you would be called "Oho Agilla" (sp?). Which means "Eagle Eye".

I think it's Navajo. Could be Spanish.

Thanks. I was pulling my hair out. I knew it should've been a zero, but I must have typed an "O".

If you're ever in SF, I'll buy you 2 beers!
