MIssing Joint attributes

Hi guys, I am following a new tutorial on dynamic joint script by 3D artist Hiroyuki Akasaki, the tutorial states we need to connect several attributes to the node, including joint orient attribute. My joints seem to not have that attribute set in, I haven't touched the joint orient attribute at all so I have no clue as to why my joints on my maya do not have it. I have maya 2023 for your information. Thanks to anyone that could suggest a possibloe resolution.my screenmy screenAkasaki's demonstrationAkasaki's demonstration

Hi!

 

Your nodes are only single expanded, not double expanded. As you can see, there are only two of the little bars in the top right of the nodes filled in. If you click on those little bars again you will see more Attributes.

 

If you still shouldn't see the needed attributes. Rightclick on the nodes in the Node Editor and use the "Show all Attributes" Option in the Dropdown Menu.

I hope it helps!

In case anyone has the same question you have to hold right click over the desired node and click "Edit Custom Attribute List" you then search for the attribute you want to include and click on it, to close the edit mode just redo the first step.
