(very) simple mel problem

Hi
You have the variables around the wrong way. Should read...

for ($selections in $selection) {

what that line is saying is that you want to perform an action on all the elements in the array... it's a good way to remember the order with a for-in loop :)

cheers

You'll also need to refer to the thing you selected inside the loop (the setAttr line would have errored as well)-


string $selection[]=`ls -sl`;
for ($sel in $selection)
{
setAttr ($sel + ".filmFit") 1;
}

Thanks a lot !

got another question :

if i want to connect (for example) the scaleX of plenty of objects from a selection to the scaleX of one object, how i can do that? i think i must use the connectAttr function but i dont know how to synthax it.

thanks again,
see you.

connectAttr [-force (file:///C:/Program%20Files/Autodesk/Maya8.5/docs/Maya8.5/en_US/Commands/connectAttr.html#flagforce)] [-lock (file:///C:/Program%20Files/Autodesk/Maya8.5/docs/Maya8.5/en_US/Commands/connectAttr.html#flaglock) boolean] [-nextAvailable (file:///C:/Program%20Files/Autodesk/Maya8.5/docs/Maya8.5/en_US/Commands/connectAttr.html#flagnextAvailable)] [-referenceDest (file:///C:/Program%20Files/Autodesk/Maya8.5/docs/Maya8.5/en_US/Commands/connectAttr.html#flagreferenceDest) string] sourceAttribute destinationAttribute

assuming $source is the source object and $target is the target object, and you intend to force the connection

connectAttr -force ($source + ".scaleX") ($target + ".scaleX")

Of-course in better way, one should check if the attribute already has connections (maybe has been animated) or checking it's lock status, just to make sure that reconnecting the attribute will not break things.
