Member Function Documentation

◆ Init()

virtual Bool Init ( GeListNode node,
Bool  isCloneInit 
)
virtual

Called when a new instance of the node type is being allocated.

The parameters of a node must be initialized in this method. NodeData::Init is being called frequently due to nodes being reallocated in the background by Cinema 4D. One should therefore be careful with carrying out computationally complex tasks in this function.

Bool BlinkerKey::Init(GeListNode* node, Bool isCloneInit)
{
BaseKey* op = (BaseKey*) node;
BaseContainer& data = op->GetDataInstanceRef();
data.SetFloat(BLINKERKEY_NUMBER, 1.0);
data.SetFloat(BLINKERKEY_STRENGTH, 1.0);
data.SetBool(BLINKERKEY_SOFT, false);
return true;
}
Definition: c4d_basecontainer.h:48
void SetFloat(Int32 id, Float r)
Definition: c4d_basecontainer.h:615
void SetBool(Int32 id, Bool b)
Definition: c4d_basecontainer.h:580
Represents a C4DAtom that resides in a 4D list.
Definition: c4d_baselist.h:1976
maxon::Bool Bool
Definition: ge_sys_math.h:51
PyObject * op
Definition: object.h:520
Definition: node.h:10
Note
If the node data class has a constructor it is called as usual before, but at that time there is no GeListNode link established.
Parameters
[in]nodeThe GeListNode connected with the NodeData instance. Equal to Get(). Provided for speed and convenience. Cinema 4D owns the pointed node.
Returns
true if the node was initialized, otherwise false.

Reimplemented from NodeData.

virtual Bool GetDDescription ( const GeListNode node,
Description description,
