Attribute Confusion

[rgkovach]

If I check the list of attributes for a simple lambert shader's shadingGroup node, I find some attributes which I can't seem to access.
For example if I try:

listAttr lambert2SG;

I get a long list of attributes, including linkedShadows.lShadowDirectionZ.

now when I try something like

setAttr -l 0 "lambert2SG.linkedShadows.lShadowDirectionZ";

i get an error:

// Error: line 1: No object matches name: lambert2SG.linkedShadows.lShadowDirectionZ //

what am i missing?!

consider Linked shadows is multi

so put a [index] between. I doubt its settable tough.

ah yes, multi attributes, that did the trick...

i ran into a bad bit of business using a script i downloaded, which basically locked everything in my scene
all is well now! thanks!

one more quick question about multi attributes...given something like dagSetMembers, I can get the size of it with getAttr -s, but how do i know what the indices are?

i.e. i know i have 14 entries, but when i look at some of the attributes, they have indices like dagSetMembers[25]...how i can find the index of each of the 14 entries?
