@m_adam Great idea! I'll use a Timer Thanks Maxime!

@m_adam That's a great solution, thank you!

@m_magalhaes said in Post Deformer Spline: Thanks, Manuel! This is what I was looking for!

@m_adam Hi Maxime, I did try your example and I saw it working as a gadget but, you're right, I want to communicate between two GeDialogs. I followed your advice on using CoreMessage and found success with SpecialEventAdd. Thank you!

For whatever reason, the default Text Object has no FontData in Text[c4d.PRIM_TEXT_FONT]. By creating a FontData instance, I was able to set the Font. import c4d def main(doc): textObject = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Osplinetext) doc.InsertObject(textObject) fontData = c4d.FontData() bc = c4d.BaseContainer() bc.SetString(500, 'Arial') bc.SetString(501, '11') bc.SetInt32(502, 400) bc.SetInt32(503, 0) bc.SetString(509, 'Arial') bc.SetString(508, 'ArialMT') fontData.SetFont(bc) textObject[c4d.PRIM_TEXT_FONT] = fontData textObject[c4d.ID_BASELIST_NAME] = bc[500] textObject[c4d.PRIM_TEXT_TEXT] = bc[500] c4d.EventAdd() if __name__=='__main__': main(doc)

@nophoto Very nice! Thank you

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.

hi, back to the subject, i was tracking the bug and I discovered it was on my chair. After messing around too much about the code, I was doing something very wrong. when you register your scenehook what is the level ? (last parameter of RegisterSceneHookPlugin) Cheers, Manuel

@Cairyn Thanks again! That's what I was afraid of, but thanks for the information!

Yes, I must read the manuals more throroughly (RTFMS). Excuses: it is so much and I just wanted to compiler R20 in R21. But you are correct. BUT, adding iferr to the code worked, AND also solved the other issue. Everything is working now! Thanks!

Looking at the doc in R19: [image: 1586334998271-5fdf5fb0-1327-4589-b6b6-d68af8869c11-image.png] [image: 1586334983049-821d97fa-e103-4cca-84b1-85f0f50304f0-image.png] So I'm afraid there is no simple solution that will work on each version maxon::String being introduced in R20, you will need to adapt your code. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi Pim sorry for the late reply, this is possible by using the lib_py.h (typically this is somehow what we used before R20 to expose feature in python, but it's way elder, not everything is possible to do, you have less control than with the new python.framework, and the lib_py.h is not maintained (so don't expect any enhancement in it) Only the python.framework will be enhanced. // Init Python GePython pythonScope; pythonScope.Init(); // Acquiere the GIL GePythonGIL gil_state; pythonScope.SetNode("doc", doc); // If doc->GetFirstObject() is nullptr, op variable will not be declared in the python scope, and you cant add a None. pythonScope.SetNode("op", doc->GetFirstObject()); maxon::String pythonCode = "\ import c4d\n\ \n\ def main():\n\ print(doc, op)\n\ \n\ if __name__ == '__main__' :\n\ main()\n\ "_s; StopAllThreads(); pythonScope.Run(pythonCode); Cheers, Maxime.

Ok, thank you. I should have spotted that myself. -Pim

Hi, I often use the python generator to create some prototype myself. So it's ok for me. But if you want to give or sell your result, you should move to a plugin. It's not hard at all, if you already did that prototype, the plugin is easy, and we are here in case you have some issue. Nice result Cheers, Manuel

@r_gigante said in attribute 'nodiscard' requires compiler flag '/std:c++17': Well @pim , that's indeed the issue. Sticking to the recommended IDE is always recommended. Indeed going back to VC++2015 solved the issues. But now I have problems with the python.framework. See https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/12439/reading-script-file-into-memory/8

Thank you Manuel !! this is exactly what I was looking for

@m_magalhaes Thank you for this workaround. I hope to see that bug fixed soon! It seems like one that would affect many scripts & plugins.

Thanks for the response, that's exactly what I needed. John Thomas
