Hello everyone.
I've been using the checker tool script for some time.
and well. All of sudden when I'm going to use it I get the error.
It don't even work on models I have used it with before.

error line 333.41: invalid use of maya object "progressControl"

Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?

What "checker" tool?

What does line 333 in your script file say?

I downloaded the script ND and this is line 333

cmds.progressBar(progressControl, edit=True, pr=0)

progressControl is defined as global in show_window() and instantiated with

progressControl = cmds.progressBar(maxValue=20, width=300)

python is not my thing so beyond this I can't say much.
