Tutorial Issue

[YoungFortune]

Hello I am following the tutorial "Creature Rigging" Insects..and I am using Maya 2011. My question is has MEL changed or should the scripts written in that particular version of Maya (2009) I believe still work? I wrote the script as instructed:


global proc matchTrns(){

string $mtr[] = `ls -sl`;

if (size($mtr) < 2) {

warning "Must select 2 objects!";

} else if (size($mrt) == 2){

parent;

setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".tx") 0;
setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".ty") 0;
setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".tz") 0;
setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".rx") 0;
setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".ry") 0;
setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".rz") 0;

select $mrt[0];

parent -w;
}

}

And I continue to get this error message:

global proc matchTrns(){

string $mtr[] = `ls -sl`;

if (size($mtr) < 2) {

warning "Must select 2 objects!";

} else if (size($mrt) == 2){

parent;

setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".tx") 0;
setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".ty") 0;
setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".tz") 0;
setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".rx") 0;
setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".ry") 0;
setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".rz") 0;

select $mrt[0];

parent -w;
}

};
// Error: } else if (size($mrt) == 2){
//

// Error: setAttr ($mrt[0] + ".tx") 0;
//

//

//

//

Any help on this would be appreciated. I have attempted to space things out move things closer and the error doesn't go away...How do I declare the variable when it isn't supposed to be specified (via the tutorial)?

You can do the MatchTransformation script with an other method
you can find how to write this script in the .. hm I think it was the curve base facial rigging course.

Hi YoungFortune! Here's a look at how you can fix that error:

Here's a link to the Creature Rigging in Maya: Insects (http://www.digitaltutors.com/11/training.php?pid=3522) course that was referenced in the video.
