You'll probably get better support fromthe Maya community than here since most of us don;'t know anything about Maya's language. > and having trouble with syntax errors in the conditional statement. > float $pos[3] = `xform -q -rp $obj`; > if ($pos[0] != 0 || $pos[1] != 0 || $pos[2] != 0) That is presumably the Maya code? Unfortunately I don't know exactly what it does - I can make a guess but that's all it would be. For example, is the indentation on line 2 significant? (It would be in python) I'm guessing the backtick(`) mean you are executing an OS command? If so you'll need the python subprocess module to do the equivalent. If the 2nd line does what I think, the equivalent Python code would be something like: if pos[0] or pos[1] or pos[2]: # do something here Can you show us what you tried and what error message(s) you got(in full)? -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
