This is fixed in R23. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi @iluxa7k thanks for reaching out us. With regard to your question, as already pointed out by @zipit , the Python del statement just is only responsible for decrementing the reference counter for the instance being "deleted" and not to actually free the memory used by the instance itself. This is clearly noted in the official Python documentation on the Note coming along with object.__del__(self) in Python 3 or object.__del__(self) in Python 2 . Given that, also consider that the del app statement you've described in your first post might not actually deliver the "clean-up" action you're thinking about. Best, Riccardo

@nophoto Very nice! Thank you

hi, i'll set that thread to solved tomorrow without further feedback Cheers, Manuel

@m_magalhaes Thanks for the response. The confusion is entirely mine. I was confused because I initially thought the GetName and SetName is only for typical C4D objects. but there is actually a separate GetName and SetName functions for the TreeView objects. I was able to retrieve the new string by just this code: def SetName(self,root, userdata, obj, name): print name # new name when you hit enter I can now use the name variable to use in my separate renaming function (i.e. rename a folder for which the TreeView was based on). Thanks!

@m_magalhaes Thanks! It works as expected

Thanks, it is working.

Hi, you cannot, because the data container of a BaseList2D is not dynamically typed (like Python itself), but bound to data types specified in its description. If you want to change the data type of an user data element, you will have to modify the description of that element via GetUserDataContainer and SetUserDataContainer. There is also no 2D-Vector type in Cinema, only the crosshair thing custom GUI which you can apply to a Vector description element. Cheers, zipit

Hi @Eduardo-Oliveira first of all welcome on the PluginCafe community. I think @zipit already provided you some correct answers or at least point you that this workflow is kind of strange for a Cinema 4D user since normally the object by itself doesn't really set its own position, but it's up to a tag (constraint Tag) to define the object position to another one. But in case you really want to do it, doing it in the Execute method of your ObjectData is fine. def AddToExecution(self, op, list): list.Add(op, c4d.EXECUTIONPRIORITY_GENERATOR, c4d.EXECUTIONFLAGS_CACHEBUILDING) return True def Execute(self, op, doc, bt, priority, flags): op.SetMg(doc.GetFirstObject().GetMg()) return c4d.EXECUTIONRESULT_OK You also need to ensure you registered your object with the flag c4d.OBJECT_CALL_ADDEXECUTION so AddToExecution and Execute are called. Cheers, Maxime.

Thanks will close the thread for now.

@zipit Thanks for the confirmation!

Hello, thanks for the answer by the way you could also clone the renderdata, modify the clone and send it to as a parameter to the function RenderDocument. That way, you don't have to "restore" them. Just in case, don't forget that data may not be saved in the BaseContainer. Cheers, Manuel

The bug is fixed in R23. Cheers, Maxime

@PluginStudent Thanks for the explanation. Your solution works as expected

@m_adam said in PolygonObject.SetSelectEdges() and the Neighbor() class, a giant dilemma: ... Hope it answers your questions, Cheers, Maxime Thank you Maxime, this is a lot of useful info. Let me think through all of this and reply here if I have any further issues.

Realizing I never responded to this Thank you @m_magalhaes, @mikegold10, and @PluginStudent. I ended up manually making a list of the parameters I wanted to copy and iterating through all of them. Not ideal, but at least glad to know there wasn't an automated method I was missing.

@bentraje I don't have that much to add on your topic since I think @zipit already explained everything nicely. In any case some good resource for you about how global variable works in Python Global keyword in Python and Mutable vs Immutable Objects in Python. Regarding your last question, I think you should open a new topic, but the short answer there is no way to pass directly a variable with a MessageData, the best way is to use a scope accessible by both part and store this variable in this shared scope (can be global or any other). Cheers, Maxime.

Got it. Thanks, again, zipit for you answer.

@Cairyn @zipit @C4DS Thank you all for the responses. I ended up with @C4DS suggestion in using SpecialEventAdd() and CoreMessage for simplicity sake. Have a great day ahead!

@m_adam Thanks! Works as expected
