I'm looking to load a map into it's appropriate attribute. I thought I had the right bit of code to do so, but apprently there seems to be perhaps more to it. I am unsure why, because I've gone into the code provided with Maya and I appear to be using the exact same technique but I am always getting an error such as this example:
// Error: line 4: The attribute 'head_patch_beardish_FurFeedbackShape.BaldnessMap' is locked or connected and cannot be modified. //
The lline of code I am using is setup like this:
setAttr -type "string" $plugAttr $mapFilePath;
In the beginning I had wondered if this was what was needed for what I needed, so went into the code like I said as well as testing possible other solutions. Now I'm just stumped, :?: . Is there a way to force the connection or am I thinking about it all wrong?
If anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions they'd definitely be appreciated. Thanks.
