oh i see, i just assumed it was a reference to the transform...

thanks!

xsi.Selection(0).Kinematics.Local.Transform returns a copy of the Transform object. So you are changing the rotation values in a temporary copy of the object.

 

See the reference page for KinematicState.Transform (see the last paragraph under Description).

I think you have to call the copy command, or call SetRotation on the transformation object.  It's something like that.

i am trying to figure out with this little bit of my script doesn't work... i create an empty rotation and try to set an object's rotation equal to it. essentially zeroing it out. no error logged. where is the failure in my logic?
