Hi,

I’m having trouble with running my proc. I’m going through the digital tutors Cartoon rigging tutorial. He starts off by making this window called “Node Generator”.

I can make the window fine with the first script(bold).

//checks for our Window and Deletes it

if (`window -exists Node_Generator`) {

delete -window Node_Generator;

}

// Window for our Node Generator

string $Node_Generator = `window

-title "Node Generator"

-wh 128 256

Node_Generator`;

// Define our Row and Column Layout

rowColumnLayout - numberOfColumns 2 - cw 2 50;

// Column1: buttons Column 2: button descriptions

separator; separator;

button -label "arcLen Maker" -c "CurveInfo()"; text -label "CurveInfo";

separator; separator;

button -label "Mut Div" -c "multDiv()"; text -label "Mult Div Maker";

//shows our window

showWindow $Node_Generator

Then I’m suppose to run the proc (blue)by highlighting it in the mel window and hitting ctrl enter on my keyboard. But then I get an error(red) and the arclen button doesn’t work.

proc CurveInfo() {

string $sel[] = `ls –sl`;

for ($obj in $sel)

arclen –ch 1;

}

proc CurveInfo() {

string $sel[] = `ls –sl`;

for ($obj in $sel)

arclen –ch 1;

};

// Error: string $sel[] = `ls –sl`; //

// Error: Syntax error //

Then I’m suppose to run another proc(green) by doing the same thing ctrl enter but again I get an error(orange) and the Mult Div button doesn’t work.

proc multDiv() {

createNode –n div01 multiplyDivide;

}

proc multDiv() {

createNode –n div01 multiplyDivide;

};

// Error: createNode –n div01 multiplyDivide; //

// Error: Syntax error //

Can you guys see or understand what’s going on?

Thanks

Jason
