any ideas how to write a mel script that will generate a window with sliders that i can use to control my ik, i.e. finger curl or foot rool? how do you bind those rotational values to the sliders' value?. Thanks in advance.
There are many MEL functions and commands for building sliders depending on the type of slider you need. I think there is a script here on highend that help build attribute sliders real easily. Look for that.
Beyond that, go to the MEL command reference docs and sort by function and then under UI:Window/Controls. attrFieldSliderGrp is probably what you will need.
