Circular orientation script [not working]

(1/1)

hihosilver:
I'm trying to use Robhilly's circular orientation script found here:
http://cg-nation.com/community/archive/index.php/topic,421.msg4149.html#msg4149.
Whenever I use it, I get a parsing error on the lines that set the position.  For example a line that reads,
"$position.y = $height;"

What I'm doing is:
*Turning expressions on for the camera and editing them,
*pasting robhilly's script in
*getting the error


Does anyone have any idea as to why the script isn't working? Or what I'm doing wrong?

Kubajzz:
You have to use this script for the "position" controller, otherwise it won't work  :D
(I'm almost sure that's the problem... Maybe you want to use the "infinite rotation" script from the same page, that's the one you should use for "orientation"...)

hihosilver:
I'll try that out Kubajzz, thanks.
I can't use the infinite rotation, I'm trying to circle a camera about an object, not rotate it about a point.
For the time being I did it by hand which looks fine, but it'll still be nice to figure out how to use the script again.

Edit:
That did work Kubajzz, thanks.  At first I was confused at what you meant which took me a while to reply, but suddenly it dawned on me.  I had been using the 'fov' controller instead of the position controller.
Thanks

Hi, i'm looking for the above mentioned script. Does anyone know where i could find it?

I'm trying to make a ring spin infinitely, atm i must do it manually which is a lot of work.
