At a first glance, you do not need the BlockList at all because you so
not use the contents. You only use it to get a number of elements to
iterate over. You would get the same result if you simply do a:
for i in range(10):
cmds.duplicate()
....
Just in case you want to give the new objects a name, you can do a:
newName = "BLOCK{0}".format(i)

Hey guys, I'm just playing around with simple for loops trying to get
my head around it. I wrote a script that creates a series of cubes and
places them a certain distance apart on the translate X axis.
from maya import cmds
BlockList = ("BLOCK", "BLOCK1", "BLOCK2", "BLOCK3", "BLOCK4", "BLOCK5")
cmds.polyCube(n="BLOCK")
for s in BlockList:
cmds.duplicate()
Name = cmds.ls (selection = True)
movevalue = 2
postvalue = cmds.getAttr(Name[0]+".tx")
shift = movevalue + postvalue
cmds.move(shift,0,0)
Now this works fine but what if I wanted to increase the number of
cubes to say 100 or more? It would be inefficient for me to have to
type all those names out into Blocklist. I know you can represent a
long list of numbers in a range, but I can't seem to find any
information on how to make a range what would include object names
with the numbers. Any help here is greatly appreciated!
