Too many arguments

[radiation]

this is my first shot at .mel scripting and i'm stuck. this particular part of the script finds what texture is connected to a certain attribute, breaks it and then connects it to a new custom attribute. I am trying to create a variable for the connected texture by using :

string $mapIn = (connectionInfo -sourceFromDestination $mat.incandescence);

but am getting :
Too many arguments. Expected 1, found 2.

what do i need to do here?

thanks!!

You cannot combine variables and strings that way.. use this instead..

string $mapIn = connectionInfo -sourceFromDestination ($mat+".incandescence");

You could use eval in conjuction but it would be a bit cheasy!
