please,.. help an architecture student
I've made an script to create some boxes with their names: shop1_1,...
To create that boxes the program will read some variable from the model (the position of the vertex of one nurbs surface called potential) if the Y position=1, it will create 1 box, if it's 2, 2 boxes,... shop 1_1, and shop 1_2,...
I've put all the scripts and procedures in a folder in: my documents>maya>scripts. After I've openend the file with I'll work with (where it is the potential surface). And finally I've opened the script editor and I've called the procedure: createShops ();
After execute that procedure that is calling to 2 other procedures: getPotentiality() and createShop ()
the program in not giving me any answer,.. it doesn't create the shops and it neither give me any error!!!!
I've very worried because I really need it to continue with my project,..
So,. please, if someone can help me,.. Nobody in my university can help me with that,.. and I really need to solve it,...
I've send you the scripts but I think they are right,.. I think I'm doing sth wrong in the way of running the script or sth like that,...
global proc createShops() {
global int $lengthSite;
int $i;
int $ii;
for ($i=1;$i<=$lengthSite;$i++) {
int $potentiality;
$potentiality = getPotentiality($i);
for ($ii=1;$ii<=$potentiality;$ii++) {
createShop ($i, $ii, $potentiality);
}
}
}
global proc int getPotentiality(int $i) {
int $result;
$result = getAttr ("potential.cv["+$i+"][0].yValue");
return $result;
}
global proc createShop (int $i, int $ii, int $potentiality) {
string $name;
$name = "shop"+$i+"_"+$ii;
int $x;
$x = ($ii*locate($i)/($potentiality+1));
polyCube -w 1 -d 4 -h 3.5 -name $name;
move -r -os -wd ($x) 1.75 (4*$i);
}
Thank you!!!

Once I gave it a value, I then got an error that Maya doesn't know what locate is, but at least it's progress.
Good luck.
