weird.. it used to be called spaceLocator, now it's just locator:


spaceLocator -p 0 0 0;

ls -type locator;
// Result: locatorShape1 //

Thanks for the reply.... also I am on a mac and am getting this when running the jsJointOrient:
--------------------------------------------
jsOrientJoint;
// Error: string $cmd = "jsOrientJoint ì;
//
// Error: Unterminated string. //
-------------------------------------------

I did a search and found what it doesn't like..... do you think that because I am on a mac that it is translating some of the characters??

proc jsCreateOrientJointCB ()
{
// define the command first. The command will take 1 input, either 1 or 0. 1 will mean Z is UP. 0 will mean Z is DOWN
string $cmd = "jsOrientJoint ì;

button -e -c ($cmd + ì 1î) jsZUpButton;
button -e -c ($cmd + ì 0î) jsZDownButton;
}

I mean, what is --- ì 1î
I assume that those should be quotes.....weird
;)

ALSO - Why do you use Z up or down instead of Y up or down???

Heya!

yep, it's a string error.. you can grab a working script (hopefully) at my homepage:

I used z up because that's what we were using at work. convenience, really. works for backs! :)

Cool, got it.... works, thanks.

One note to others that are doing this tutorial.... I had to enter:
jsOrientJointUI
into the script editor.... instead of jsJointOrient, as the pdf specifies:

jsOrientJoint;
// Error: jsOrientJoint;
//
// Error: Wrong number of arguments on call to jsOrientJoint. //

[jschleifer]

yep yep, jsOrientJointUI is the right one.. jsOrientJoint was only partway implimented & shouldn't have been included in the docs.

d'oh!
