A problem with mel script

delucia

Hey guys,

I'm having a weird problem with a code. Actually code itself runs and works well.

But when I try to put it in a procedure, it says "undeclared variable" about a variable that I only declare and use in that procedure.

Here is the code:

(it is the $selVerts variable in tokenize row that it says undeclared. and also the $each in for loop. To mention again; there's no problem without procedure.)

proc $ToVerts() {
    
string $selVerts[] = `ls -sl -fl`;
string $cl[] = `newCluster " -relative -envelope 1"`;

select -cl;
string $jnt = `joint`;

string $ptCnsJnt[] = `pointConstraint $cl $jnt`;
string $findPtCns[] = `listRelatives -type pointConstraint $jnt`;

float $jointX = `getAttr ($jnt + ".translateX")`;
float $jointY = `getAttr ($jnt + ".translateY")`;
float $jointZ = `getAttr ($jnt + ".translateZ")`;

select $findPtCns[0] $cl[0] $jnt; doDelete;

string $num[];
$numoftokens = `tokenize $selVerts[0] "." $num`;

xform -ws -piv $jointX $jointY $jointZ $num[0];

select -cl; 

   for ($each in $selVerts)
   {    
       select -add $each;
   }

}

I'm new to proedures, and couldn't find why this is happening.

Thank you in advance.

Procedures don't use a $ symbol in front of their names like variables.

Rabbid_cheeze is right, just ditch the $ in the proc name, that symbol is olny for variables.

Thank you Rabbid_Cheeze and passerby
