Random Instancer rotations

Random Instancer rotations

The assignrndmotion.mel is in rtf - rich text format.
Delete with any text editing software few lines, which
were added by highend, and save it with rtf extension,
then reopen it with windows wordpad, now all the stuff
should be go, and you can save is normal text file, or
as mel file...

Also to note, there is a line in there which is calling global procedure
emitter which is not good really, so if you can rename this
to something like emitterRI and do this in whole script.

You need to source then script, after you selected particles you would
like to add rotation to.

Hope this helps
