MEL Command (MakeROLL)
Totally new subject i've never inquired about. Which is good I guess, it means I am jumping into new things and gaining more experience.. but I have a problem..
I am animating a ball bouncing and I am trying to incorporate the Mel Command "MakeROLL"
The command allows make to make a sphere and have it automatically "roll" whenever I move it on the X;Z axis. For a bouncing ball however, the Y axis must be used. With this command attached to my nurbSphere1 it will not let me move it in the Y axis.. I've tried grouping and parenting but I'm not sure if I am doing it right.
Does anyone know what I can do?
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

What you can do, is create a nurbs circle, and parent the sphere to it. When you grab the sphere, it should still move in the x and z, and you would use the curve to move it up in y.
