OK, here's my *unfinished* attempt at converting it (no more time
unfortunately, it was a very good exercise though). I have to say, I
didn't really understand what you were trying to achieve in parts so I
just used your expressions unchanged. Also I didn't understand some of
your (swedish?) variable names so that why I also have some bizarre
names... I was really just experimenting with how some things would be
done using the OM. I couldn't figure out to use ApplyPath with OM
though so I used AddConstraint instead, which would then need keys
setting after (with ApplyPath this can be done on creation it seems). I
didn't get around to the animation but that looked straightforward.
Anyway, if some of the more seasoned scripting types could cast a beady
eye over this I'd really appreciate it. I did some things I'm just not
sure about. First off, I iterate through the collection retuned by the
duplicate command instead of enumerating it. Now I remember reading
here many times that enumerating is faster, but it just seemed
unecessary in this instance, am I right?
Also, I'm checking for whether the user pressed OK or Cancel by just
checking if a return value exists. Is this a no no? It's seems fairly
fool-proof to me.
Many thanks scripty heads,
DAN
