About
NodeData based classic plugin classes can implement NodeData::GetDDescription(). This allows to dynamically add parameters to the element's parameter description. This description is then used by Cinema 4D to define the parameters that are displayed in the Attribute Manager.
NodeData::GetDDescription() corresponds to C4DAtom::GetDescription().
- Note
- NodeData::GetDDescription() will be called when the DIRTYFLAGS::DESCRIPTION flag of an object is set.
Usage
When NodeData::GetDDescription() is called it is supposed to fill the given Description object.
{
const Bool invalidNode =
node ==
nullptr;
const Bool invalidDescription = description ==
nullptr;
if (invalidNode || invalidDescription)
return false;
return false;
return SUPER::GetDDescription(
node, description,
flags);
}
