help trying to setAttr

[jettam]

Could someone help me with this. I am trying to setAttr Translation of insectGroup.  Looks like I am not plugging in the center varible correctly.

 

center = mc.xform(bodyA, q=True, t=True)    ###   Result is 0.0, 2.41, -2.6

insectGroup = mc.group(empty=True, name='Group_Insect_#')

mc.setAttr((insectGroup)+ '.translate', [center], type="double3")

The issue is that you are trying to pass a list cast into a list of 1 element in your setAttr command. Instead you should be passing series of 3 floats.

Instead of 

mc.setAttr((insectGroup)+ '.translate', [center], type="double3”)

Try

mc.setAttr((insectGroup)+ '.translate', center[0], center[1], center[2], type="double3")
