I already guessed so. Thanks, I think we can close this post. -Pim

Hi! You could go for CTracks via Python. You'd have to get the track for a position parameter, for example, or create one, then get curve, then add keys. Later, you could simply range map it back to your Xpresso rig. it It's definitely doable!

Thanks a_block, Sadly I had to disable the state() function because it breaks (delays forever) Material Preview/Shader rendering. This State() function should somehow be isolated if possible ... but i guess this is the limitation of "checking the gui state". kind regards mogh

Hi Víctor, To retrieve parameters a function must be initialized with PYFN_FLAGS::KEYWORDS. Then use pylib.ParseTupleAndKeywords() to get the value for each parameter. The following code shows the implementation of a function which expects a string, an integer and a float: static _PyObject *extendpyapi_PassParameters(_PyObject *self, _PyObject *args, _PyObject *keywords) { PythonLibrary pylib; String str; Int32 integer = 0; Float real = 0.0f; const Char *kwlist[] = {"str", "integer", "real", nullptr}; if (!pylib.ParseTupleAndKeywords(args, keywords, "$if", kwlist, &str, &integer, &real)) return nullptr; if (str.Content()) GePrint("Parameter str: " + str); GePrint("Parameter integer: " + String::IntToString(integer)); GePrint("Parameter real: " + String::FloatToString(real)); return pylib.ReturnPyNone(); } ... moduleFunctions[1].Init("PassParameters", (PyFn)extendpyapi_PassParameters, PYFN_FLAGS::KEYWORDS, "PassParameters() - Extend Python API");

Now Work Thanks Andreas

There is no way to get a filtered list of objects visible in the timeline. Sorry.

And sorry @kbar, @C4DS, @aturtur I should have found it earlier, but after looking at how to implement it, I figured out it's already possible since R21 with the flag DR_COLORFIELD_NO_SCREENPICKER import c4d class MyDialog (c4d.gui.GeDialog): def CreateLayout(self): self.AddColorField(1000, c4d.BFH_LEFT | c4d.BFV_TOP, colorflags=c4d.DR_COLORFIELD_NO_SCREENPICKER) return True if __name__=='__main__': global dialog dialog = MyDialog() dialog.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC, xpos=-2, ypos=-2) Cheers, Maxime.

This worked. Thank you.

Hi, congratulation to your first plugin. Looks nice! Cheers, Andreas

thats a pity... i can convert c4d layer shaders to vray layer shaders but cant do it in the other direction, because i cant create layer shaders ... sigh

yup.. well.. i dont expect that to change very soon... so i guess we have to live with it still thanks for your patient support

damn. totally didn't look there. sorry. Alfie

Hi, thanks but i managed to fix it. It wasnt a Cinema4d related error. Apparently a bad argument to one of python methods was causing it to return the filepath of the script instead.

For viewport delay: i rewrote Skin Deformer ,Add a Aim Object to Check DeformCacheDirty To achieve my purpose（keep viweport realtime Refresh），yes ,it work. I have been updating the post, hoping that I can understand what the problem is on the right path, instead of exploring the working mechanism of Cinema 4D in other ways. Although I don't get the official answer, this will not dispel my enthusiasm for exploration the answer. (English is not very good, I hope to understand what I express)

Thanks for the solution and explanation Yannick. It's working perfectly now and I can finish converting my scripts.

Thanks dskeith, that code worked perfectly. Thanks for that!

Cool. Will do.

@mikeudin Thanks for making us aware. We'll change the link with the next docs update.
