Re: Getting started with MEL scripting in Maya
I'd go for python script instead. Same commands available but you gain a lot more general python functionality. Such as handling strings, lists, etc. Here's a good guide for getting started. http://www.chadvernon.com/blog/resources/python-scripting-for-maya-artists/ -
Re: Mel scripting help: moving a bunch of verts to a locator
most code built on python 2.6.4 which is what previous versions of maya uses, will work on 2.7.3 which contains mostly minar changes to python Saf. it is 2.x to 3.x that you got to watch out for in python, which is why a lot of people never moved away from 2.x.

Re: [MaxScript] regular expressions doubts

Re: Scripting streamlines your 3d workflow
[ QUOTE ] Ely - Python is all well and good (as is Lua), but it's not Mel or Maxscript so it doesn't really have a practical application [/ QUOTE ] Oh, I understand. But Python is implemented as a scripting language for some 3D design software. So there's no need for learning cobbled program specific languages. With that… -
Re: Maya 3D view double-click detection through MEL
As far as I know, MEL seems to be flag based while what you seem to be looking for is event based (ie Actionscript) and even though there are scriptjobs, I took a look at the documentation and there was no flag for double click.
