Hi,

welcome to the Plugin Café forum ☺

Before answering your question, I'd like to ask you to please read "Read Before Posting". No worries, I have turned this thread into a "question", added tags and moved it to the Cinema 4D Development category for you.

I'm a bit surprised it's supposed to work on Mac. The thing is, SetTime() just sets the time of the document, but it does not implicitly trigger a re-evaluation or execution of the scene. For this you need to use ExecutePasses() after calling SetTime().

There's some more information on this in our C++ SDK manuals. I know, we are talking Python here, but maybe it's interesting anyway: BaseDocument manual -Time.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi merkvilson, thanks for following up.

With regard to the MSG_EDIT it's actually dispatched just when double-click event is executed by the user.
What is then executed depends on what is implemented in the NodeData::Message() method when the MSG_EDIT message is received in a certain NodeData.
An example on how the double-click event in the ObjectManager works can be found via the Physical Sky, where, double clicking on the icon in the OM, just opens the Sky Manager UI.

Best, Riccardo

Hi Nikolay, thanks for following up.

I've forwarded the idea request to the development department responsible for. After evaluating they'll decide if and when to schedule this API addition in our release cycle.

Best, Riccardo

@m_adam

Thanks, Maxime!
You solved yet another issue.

Thanks, Andreas!
I was looking for interface_icons_2x for a while 😁

Thanks Sebastian. I did not realize it was a generator. Couldn't find it mentioned in the docs. However I was searching for VolumeLoader in the docs and on here, and I think the official docs searching system doesn't always return the results.

Anyway, all good now. Thanks again.

Here's an older blog post about VS property sheets. Still for VS2010, but the principle is still the same.
Sharing project properties in Visual C++

Thank you Maxime.

My current solution looks pretty similar to yours and works .
Implementing an own gadget is of course out of scope - I don't even get paid for that. ☺

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your help and you are never too late! ☺
That actually makes more sense.
Unfortunately I can't seem to replicate the issue again on my machine, as it seems that it's been working for all my updates.

I will have a look on one of my team machines when released and see if that could be the problem.

Thank you again! 👍

Hello @r_gigante
Thank you for your time and answer. I will try the other way then.
Best, Ogers

Thank you for your answer. That was exactly what I was looking for.

Hi @Fransua welcome in the plugincafe community.

Do not worry since it's your first post but please read and follow these rules (I've setup your post correctly)

How to Post Questions especially the tagging part. Q&A New Functionality.

Unfortunately, a complete list is not available for the moment. But if you are looking only for object there is this page Object Types and Fields Object Types which refer to all symbols available to describe an object.

To know a specific object id, you can drag and drop this object/element to the console, for more information see Python Console, Scene Elements.

Finally, you can also retrieve for the full list of id by their type with c4d.plugins.FilterPluginList

Cheers,
Maxime.

Thanks, Andreas! 💙
This is a really interesting approach.

@mp5gosu

Thanks for the response and for the link regarding recursive and nonrecusive distinction, but I think the recursive version is shorter to write

@Cairyn

Thanks for the revised script. Works as expected. To be honest, I really do not know Python in C4D per se. I'm just winging it. Hahaha.
So, thanks for the explanation!

Gotcha. Thanks for clarification!

Hi, @merkvilson thanks for pointing this function is private and have no use case since its return the type of a c4d.gui.Gadget which is only used internally.

Cheers,
Maxime.

@C4DS

Works as expected. Phew! I never knew it is this complicated.

Thanks again. Have a great day ahead!

Thanks for the confirmation @a_block

Will hope for the best in the future regarding sublime

Have a great a day ahead!

Probably not that helpful but there is an existing script for the C4D OBJ Sequence Exporter
https://richh.co/c4d-native-obj-sequence-export-no-plugins/

Hi @rage, you first have to configure the exporter plugin then Load the document/ Merge it.
Cinema 4D will automatically use the settings you defined in the plugin.
You can find examples of the procedure in our github repository.

Finally, symbols for supported exporter/importer are exposed in this page of the Python documentation.
Unfortunately, there is no area describing each symbol for each exporter in the python documentation, but you can find them using the search engine in the C++ documentation. (I linked you the C++ symbols of OBJ, import)

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Cheers,
Maxime.
