[Maya] Script for moving only the x of a pivot to ws 0
So I recognize that this script
xform -ws -pivots 0 0 0;
Moves the selected objects pivot to the world space center and that the command expects 3 arguments, so if I only wanted this to move the pivots x to ws 0, how would I go about filling in the other two arguments. I am not a Mel scripter, just a 3d animation student who is just getting into scripting tonight to solve this issue without creating a plane, rotating it and bringing it up, snapping the pivot to a vert everytime I want to mirror something the duplicate and x -1 way with a pivot between the two objects. any help or advice is appreciated.

To do it with script you'd copy and change the current xform. I don't do Mel so can't help with the syntax though.
If you're just doing this by hand though why not use the transform type-in on the upper toolbar?
Can you transform the pivot with that toolbar? I've only ever used it to bring an object to the ws center.
in pivot mode it should work
