hi every one ,i have a new question about MEL.

that is a simple & easy command,i want to snap 2 objs with"point "and"orient" constrains.then i am going to delete those two constrain-nodes.so how can i write?

i tried to write like this:

string $pc[]=`pointConstraint -offset 0 0 0 -weight 1`;
string $oc[]=`orientConstraint -offset 0 0 0 -weight 1`;
delete ($pc[0]);
delete ($oc[0]);

but it didn`t run.:cry:

you can use a parent constant to do translate and rotate at the same time

$constraint = `parentConstraint -weight 1`;
delete $constraint;

i mean ,i don`t know why i wrote string $sel[] =`pointConstraint -offset 0 0 0 -weight 1`;maya can`t read it.
you wrote $constraint = `parentConstraint -weight 1`; is $constraint a string?

yeah if you dont specify what variable your using then maya does it automaticly so parentConstraint returns a string[] so

$varA = `parentConstraint` //returns string array so $varA = string array

$size = size($varA) //size returns an interger so $size = int

make sence, check help docs to find out what comands return values are
