Invalid syntax

rpark7J3CJN — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 00:24:54 GMT

import maya.cmds as mc

for i in range (1,73):
mc.sphere()
mc.sphere(0, 0, -10, relative = True)
mc.move(0, 0, 10, (('nurbsSphere' + str(i) + '.scalePivot'), ('nurbsSphere' + str(i) '.rotatePivot'), relative = True))
mc.rotate(0, 5 * i, 0, r =True, os =True)

I don't get why does Maya tell that I have an invalid syntax. I checked everywhere where the order is.

Hi,

You are missing a plus sign (+) in front of '.rotatePivot'.

Updating Media

# File "<maya console>", line 6, in <module>
# NameError: name 'o' is not defined #

I just ran into another issue, I still don't get why Maya does not recognize operating system.

Hi,

The error is on line 5. The script editor in your version has a bug and line numbers should start from 1, not 0.

In this case you are referring to str(o) and str(i) but the variables o and i are not defined in your script.
