Woohoo!  I've been waiting for this one for a long, long time :).  Special thanks to NickE et al. for making this dream a reality!

I am having a little trouble making it work, though.  I have the chainmaker a8s file in my scripts directory.  I tried renaming a spline that I created "chainpath," then clicked the Chain Path button on the left, then clicked back in the modeling window.  Nothing happened.  What am I doing wrong?  Any help would be much appreciated - and I can show you the old warrior the way he was meant to be :).

Sometimes I get that behavior too.  After verifying that the script actually ran by looking at the debug window, you might have to drag a little bit instead of just clicking in the modeling window.  If you are still having problems, post your .an8 file, and I will take a look.

DSM, your request for some help with chains in the original post for this topic inspired me to add the spline functions to ASL.  It was more work than I though at first but I was hopeful that it would wind up useful.  I must say, I haven't been disappointed.  The scripts everyone is writing are pretty cool and your model is fantastic.  Keep up the good work, everybody!
