Problem with saving a duplicate

[Anonymous]

I never had this problem before, but now I don't know how to fix it.

When I duplicate something in mel it works fine.

But as soon as I want to save the duplicate DAGpath in a variable it tells me that it can't convert an array to a string.

If I have an object selected.

And I just type:

duplicate;

Then it works.

But if I do this:

$saveVar=`duplicate`;

Then it gives me an error, I don't understand?

Hi!

You need to declare the variable (as array) first.

Try this instead:

string $saveVar[];
$saveVar=`duplicate`;

Thank you, I tried something similar but I was off a little.

it works both ways now, after I just restarted, weird.
