Mel Loop Problem

[scoonani]

Hi, I'm very new to Mel and am trying to figure out a script to do the following:

Let's say I have a Poly sphere made up of over 500 vertices, and I have about 500 Poly planes that I want to snap to each of those vertices on the Sphere. The poly sphere is called pSphere1 and the planes are numbered pPlane1 to pPlane500. Now I can select a vertex of a plane and then shift select a vertex of the sphere and choose Modify>snap align objects> point to point. But, I don't want to have to do this 500 times . Can you help me write a script to loop the procedure? Thanks so much!

Hey, are you still in need of help?

Make sure you have TWO objects selected and run the following. It will copy the FIRST selected object onto each vert of the SECOND:

CODE
string $list[] = ls -sl;
string $objectWithTheVerts = $list[1];
string $objectToCopy = $list[0];
int $vertNum[] = polyEvaluate -v $objectWithTheVerts;
for ($i=0;$i<$vertNum[0];$i++)
{
string $currentVert = ($objectWithTheVerts + ".vtx[" + $i + "]");
float $pos[] = pointPosition -w $currentVert;
string $dup[] = duplicate -rr $objectToCopy;
select $dup[0];
move -a $pos[0] $pos[1] $pos[2];
}
