Thank you! This is so much clear now

Hi, I have turned your thread into a question, see Q&A New Functionality. Also moved the thread to the category Cinema 4D Development. In Cinema 4D R19 you can use the environment variable C4D_PLUGINS_DIR to set another path for plugins. It may even contain multiple directories (separated by semicolon ; ), although there was a bug in the early versions of R19, which prevented this. The bug was fixed with R19 SP2. There's an old thread discussing this, where you can also see how it's used: C4D_PLUGINS_DIR Multiple path Admittedly the original poster still seemed to have issues with mutiple paths, which we have not been able to reproduce, though. In Cinema 4D R20 this was changed completely. There you have multiple options: Multiple plugin directories can be set in Cinema's preferences g_additionalModulePath environment variable Additional plugin directories can be specified on command line Cinema4D.exe g_additionalModulePath=... See also Environment Variables in the user help and also the thread Is C4D_PLUGINS_DIR env var still working (R20.0.28)?. Cheers, Andreas

@m_adam Wow, I learned some tricks from your code! ( so important to me) Thank you very much for your optimization and testing of your personal time, which is very helpful to me! (C++ is so fast)

Hello, you might have to add the pyp file path to the system path using: sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__)) so import sys import os sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__)) import hello_function best wishes, Sebastian

Hi, both answers already provide valid solutions. Nice. @Rage: Please also consider to use the tagging system (see Read Before Posting) and the Question and Answer feature (see Q&A New Functionality). Especially the tags can help, like for example in this case @mp5gosu would probably have provided you with Python code, if the respective tag was set. Besides setting tags and changing into a question, I have also moved this thread into the Cinema 4D Development category. And then I want to add a few links to Python docs: GeListNode CallCommand() Cheers, Andreas

Hello, in Cinema 4D R20 the environment variable C4D_PLUGINS_DIR has been removed. It has been replaced with g_additionalModulePath. You can use this command also as a command line argument. See Environment Variables. Please notice that you can mark your post also as a question. See Q&A New Functionality. best wishes, Sebastian

Hi, @mike if the previous post solves your issue, please mark it as the correct answers. It will switch the topic as solved. To do so please read Q&A functionality. Of course, if you didn't test my previous post, or may have follow-up questions, do not mark as solved and take as much time as you need to ask us. But if there is nothing more to add please mark your topic as solved. Cheers, Maxime

@mp5gosu Thank you, that is a good tip. I see that Onull=5140 is listed and it looks like all others are in there too! Thom

Hi, I'm sorry for getting back so late. My examples should be easily adapted to random values. Our Python SDK does not directly provide means for random numbers, but Python's random module should do the trick just fine. Cheers, Andreas

Hi Holger, I'm wondering if your question has been answered. If so, please mark this thread as solved. Cheers, Yannick

@a_block Case solved! Thanks again for your patience.

Hello @HolgerBiebrach , I'm wondering if your question has been answered. If so, please mark this thread as solved. best wishes, Sebastian

Hi @zhhm156 I'm wondering if your question has been answered. If so, please mark this thread as solved. Cheers, Maxime.

Note c4dpy does not work with a R20 free educational license. But c4dpy runs fine with a paid R20 student license.

Hi @Hexbob6 I'm wondering if your question has been answered. If so, please mark this thread as solved. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_adam Cool. Thank-you for your time and patience.

Hi Maxime. Thanks a lot. That helped me.
