[SOLVED] Error when trying to mirror my RBF

Hey guys :slight_smile:

I’m encountering a weird error when trying to mirror my RBF leg setup:

# Warning: Name 'RBF_Multiplier' of new attribute clashes with an existing attribute of node 'skirt_R0_fk0_ctl'.
# Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "C:\Users\****\Documents\maya\modules\scripts\mgear\rigbits\rbf_manager2\rbf_manager_ui.py", line 1538, in mirrorSetup
#     rbfModule.createRBFFromInfo(mirrorWeightInfo)
#   File "C:\Users\****\Documents\maya\modules\scripts\mgear\rigbits\weightNode_io.py", line 824, in createRBFFromInfo
#     setTransformNode(transformNode, transformNodeInfo)

#     parent = PyNode(nodes[-1])
#   File "C:\Users/****/Documents/maya/2024/scripts/site-packages\pymel\core\general.py", line 2788, in __new__
#     raise _objectError(name)
# pymel.core.general.MayaNodeError: Maya Node does not exist (or is not unique):: 'skirt_R0_fk0_driven'

If I import my setup into a new scene without a setup and try to mirror it there, I get the same error.

Could it be that I’m not allowed to use right-side controllers for my left leg setup?
Since I have this huge skirt, I manipulate all of the chains, not only the left side, to create a more believable behaviour

I would be grateful for any help that leads me to the result I’m aiming for :slight_smile:

Cheers

edtit:
ok, I found out that I can’t include right-side controllers into my left-side setup and mirror that ^^
I hoped the solution would be easier ^^
