understanding oppattern input (invalid input error)

christopher_mcvey

ok.. tried searching for various things but my issue is that I don't understand what inputs are required in what form I think..  my featurescript is here (no laughing!)  silly feature ..  
I think I have everything correct but it says invalid input when I try it.. the entity to copy is a solid body, the transform is basically a do nothing placeholder and the instanceNames is an array of unique string names.  some of the annotation inputs are for later functionality so they shouldn't make a difference.. but I have no idea.

instanceNames array has to be the same length as transforms array ( in this case 1) . If you want to create `definition.entityCount` copies, you need to provide that number of transformations

and bang.. got it.. each instance of the pattern gets its name and a corresponding transform.. otherwise the pattern would just be the same transform on all the instances of the pattern.  thank you, I knew it had to be simple.
