Hi there,

I am trying to make maya generate a fluid cache in command line batch mode.
But I can’t seem to be able to pass the mel command.

I have a test mel script:

global proc apan(string $what)
{ 

 print ("Apan says: " + $what + "!\n");
}

And then try to do:

maya -batch -file maya_scene_file-v002.ma -command "apan hohoho";

But this errors and says:

Error: Number of arguments on call to apan does not match number of parameters in procedure definition.

When I change the ‘apan’ melscript to not take any arguments, it works.

Why won’t it accept any arguments?
Any ideas anyone?

cheers
fred

working rarely with cmdline maya but i would try this:

maya -batch -file maya_scene_file-v002.ma -command “apan(\"hohoho\");"

not sure how maya interprets commandline parameters, but if that does not work try similar things like:

maya -batch -file maya_scene_file-v002.ma -command apan("hohoho");

maya -batch -file maya_scene_file-v002.ma -command “apan("hohoho")";
