Question (MEL)

[Christopher.]

rotate -r -rotateY 300 0 0 ($bballArray[1]);

How come the above code works, shouldn't 300 represent (X) and the next numeric value represent (Y) ? It appears MEL does the following, if you want to rotateY then the first numeric value is Y !

It might just be how the parser for that command works.

the 3 floats are required to be there. but which one it uses changes bases on your flag, while it doesn't make sense, it is just how the command was set up. I would suggest dropping the rotateY flag then the float order works as expected.

Odd !

The first value when you are specific as in; rotateY, the first value 0 0 0 is only what MEL reads, the other values are basically nullified.  Alteast I know :) I look forward to finding hiccups in Python soon, yes, no, :)
