Hi Manuel,

what you say rings a bell. I was sure it was because the vector hadn't allocated anything yet.

Global possibly wasn't the best way admittedly, it just started like that for convenience. But it ended up being a bit complex, there's a lot of things accessing it, so I didn't want to change it (for now).

@m_magalhaes said in Setting up global plugin structs:

create a pointer and in pluginstart and pluginend take care of assign memory and free it

hadn't thought of that. Seems to work - I'll go with that! Thanks 👍

WP.

Works like a charm!
It's much more flexible than I hoped;)

Thanks a lot!

Hi @SolarPH please open a new topic with your code and the exact error.

hi,

Sorry for the delay of this answer, we simply missed your post.

When using STRING READOUT_WIDTH { ANIM OFF; } it's important that you initialize the parameter in your Init function. Otherwise uninitialized type will be a int.
At some point, the code is comparing the old value type with the new value. That's why it's waiting for a Int while you provide a Str. (feel like a bug to me)

I don't see the problem using STATICTEXT or STRING. It does create the expected fields. The StaticText can't be Animated anyway, i would remove the ANIM OFF

STATICTEXT PYPREFERENCE_STATICTEXT {} STRING PYPREFERENCE_STRING { }

about the border around the static text you can declare the field like this in your ressource file:

STATICTEXT PYPREFERENCE_STATICTEXT_BORDER {BORDER;}

Thanks for all the extra info guys! I'll make sure to use the ask-as-a-question feature next time 🙂

Hi see Cinema 4d R23 MacOs Pip Install Broken.

We found another AA option on Settings, Viewport Hardware, that performs much better than the View Settings Supersampling, probably using a different technique.

Thanks.

Hi @WickedP,

Secondly, I can't seem to mark any topics of mine as solved. Has this changed?

that is because you haven't set your topic as "ask-as-question" in the first place 😉 So there is nothing to resolve here.

Glad you found a way and yes I think it's safe now 🙂
I guess there is no more open pint? If so I let you define your topic as solved (see Forum Structure and Features - Ask as Question If you don't know how to do it).

Just in case a BaseContainer can also store a BaseContainer. so you could store your own BaseContainer at the ID_PLUGIN And in this BaseContainer at ID 0 stores, the obj counts, and then you can safely iterate over it.

Cheers,
Maxime.
