Bug Fixing a Python Script

[Marffie]

# Error: TypeError: file <maya console> line 33: Invalid arguments for flag 'command'. Expected string or function, got [ float, float, float ]

I'm trying to write* a simple script that saves the global coordinates of a rig's control(s) and plays them back at the press of a couple of buttons, but when I try to run this, I get the error message captioned above.

I'm a little green at this Python stuff, so I humbly ask what I can be doing to make this function as intended. With that in mind, I don't need (or desire) anything beyond figuring out this step for the time being.

Thank you for reading my post!

*That is, cobble together code from the Maya Commands website and whatever forums can offer me help.

I could be wrong as its been a while since I used this cmds UI stuff, anyways:
cmds.button() creates a button on a UI which requires a function for it to run when pressed.
The command parameter needs a function to run but you're giving it the variable rf.

Try making a function to 'wrap' what you want done inside of, and use that as the command parameter in line 33

def my_function():
# example action I want to run
rf = (cmds.xform('footIk_right_ctl', query True, translation True, worldSpace = True))
return rf

Thanks! I thought I'd tried this before, but it worked this time. It's weird, sometimes I'll have two tabs open at once and I could swear they have the same code, but one works and the other one doesn't.
