okPushy 1.2.2 for Maya (maya script)

Comments on this bug:

  The path in your source command is wrong. It should be something like this: source “c:\\Users\\hamu\\Documents\\maya\\2016\\scripts\\okPushy.mel”; The backslash is a string escape character. You have to use two backslashes to get one backslash character. The first is the escape, the second is the value for the escape. That is only valid for Windows OS. Mac and Linux use slashes to separate the folders. That is more reliable.

  Thank you for your help and patience! I fixed the wrong line in my hotkey editor like this: if (startsWith(`whatIs okPushyActivate`, "Mel") != true) { source "c:\\Users\\hamu\\Documents\\maya\\2016\\scripts\\okPushy.mel"; } okPushyActivate(); What I got now: // Error: "c:\Users\hamu\Documents\maya\2016\scripts\okPushy.mel" line 1.3: Syntax error // Sorry I make you a headache :/

  no worries! It's good that finally a user with Windows is testing that thing. Unfortunately I have only a Mac at home and Linux at work. Both use the Unix notation for folder structures. Seems like something is still not right with that source command and it's Windows folder structure notation... Now the simplest solution might be for you to get rid of the first three lines and just leave the line okPushyActivate(); in there. The reason why this might still work is because you saved the script in the standard script folder of Maya. It should be sourced already when Maya is booting. Test that, might work. Still like to know what the correct notation for folder in Windows is. Just so I can update the installation infos of the script page here at CreativeCrash. According to Maya's help about the source command in MEL the correct notation would have been: source "c:/Users/hamu/Documents/maya/2016/scripts/okPushy.mel"; So, forward-slashes instead of back-slashes. Can you try and let me know? Cheers, Oliver

  Any success? Is forward-slashes correct for windows?

  hi there, Firstly thanks for this script - looks to be a very useful addition to Mayas toolset :) Just as a note to previous comments I got this to work in Windows by first copying the full script code into the script editor and hitting return to run it. after that the 'okPushyActivate();' command seemed to work. On a new open of Maya I couldnt get the script to source (like above got that line 1.3 syntax error on .mel script) , but copying the fiull script into the editor again and it works. So dont know if that helps sorry!

  yes, the issue here is the source command. Windows might need a different notation of the path. After looking at the online documentation for Maya in Windows at Autodesk's website, my best guess is you got to use single forward slashes. source "c:/Users/hamu/Documents/maya/2016/scripts/okPushy.mel";

  I had the same syntax error and it turns out the script has an encoding error.  Needs to be switched to ansi/ascii encoding.
