I get A error message when making the pickwip to shoulder and make the script.

thisComp.layer("Wrist").toComp­([0.0])

After Wffects warning: Bad argument: First argument to toComp must be a vector of length 2 or 3.

What am i doing wrong?

Hey there,

It looks like you are putting a period between the 0's in ([0,0]) instead of the comma that is needed. Otherwise everything looks like it should work.

Really helpful! Wish you'd covered starch a bit, having a hell of a time with that, but this is going to make my struggles keyframing pin position disappear!

is Adobe really so stupid to be not able to see that the command line is dead and that there are simpler ways to make an IK chain ?
