On line 262, "pm.aimConstraint(selected[0], pv_pad1, mo=False, w=1, aim=(-1, 0, 0), u=(0, 1, 0), wut=???)
What should I put on wut?? Are there any inputs after that? Thanks.

Hello, I'm getting the following error: # Error: TypeError: file C:\Program line 130: Invalid flag 'commandChange' #
It seems to only be affecting the commandChange ~lien 64 (I space things differently), so I don't know what I'm doing wrong :-(

Thanks for this videos.(sorry if I wrote something wrong)

Hello and thank you so much for these videos. I'm learning Python and these are proving very useful. However, when I try to run the code at this stage, I'm getting these errors:
# Error: can only concatenate list (not "str") to list
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "<maya console>", line 1, in <module>
# File "path\new_arm_rig.py", line 166, in armIconScale
# pm.setAttr(fk_circle + 'Shape.v', 1)
# TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "str") to list #


I'm very interested in learning with your videos and it would be awesome if you could help me with this. Thanks in advance.
