mchelper, Flash Connector, and MEL Script in Maya

The following MEL Script captures three input devices for form creation and a fourth input device for curation:

wave1Handle.translateY = sensorInput.sensor1 *400;
twist1Handle.translateZ = sensorInput.sensor2 *400;
flare1Handle.translateZ = sensorInput.sensor3 *400;

if(sensorInput.sensor4<0.3)
{
string $newSurf[] = `duplicate -rr polySurface89`;
move -r 50 0 0 $newSurf[0];
}

wave1Handle.translateY = sensorInput.sensor1 *400;
twist1Handle.translateZ = sensorInput.sensor2 *400;
flare1Handle.translateZ = sensorInput.sensor3 *400;

float $count1;

if((sensorInput.sensor4 > 0.65) && (sensorInput.sensor4 < 0.7))
{

float $dist = 20 + ($count1*10);
string $newSurf[] = `duplicate -rr polySurface89`;
move -r $dist 0 0 $newSurf[0];

$count1++;
}
