@ferdinand

yea python is much more forgiving than C++. i was just wondering if there was an already existing API for such task. 👍

Okay, thank you！

Hello @ADCMHI,

your code contains syntax errors, you have index arguments after a keyword argument in your CallUVCommand call and you also refer to module attributes that do not exist in your script, uvw and cmdid. You also did not properly follow the code example I provided.

Your script could either be a product of some chat bot which is not knowing what is doing (but at least CoPilot/ChatGPT write better Cinema 4D code these days) or the struggles of a beginner. And while we understand that CoPilot is a useful tool (we use it ourselves) and that everyone has to start, we cannot help you with chatbot gibberish or with learning the basics of programming. See our Support Procedures for details.

I personally operate by the rule: "Newcomers have one free" and therefore fixed here your script for you. Please understand that we cannot help you with further questions that are on such a fundamental level of non-functional code. Please also understand that this is not a commitment of SDK to always provide solutions for newcomers, no matter in which state their code is.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hi sadly no news, except we kind of know the issue, sadly this issue is somehow by design and will require an architectural change.

While we still want to fix this issue, everything is about priority and this is not a urgent priority at the moment so I can't tell you when it will be fixed. But it's on our list.

Hi I'm not a big expert of PyQt5, but I think you need to set the attribute Qt.AA_DontCreateNativeWidgetSiblings Attribute.

Cheers,

Hi with Cinema4D you can pass an absolute path to a python script, and it will be executed.
You do not need any other argument just "Cinema 4D.exe" {ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_PYTHON_FILES.py}.

Note that this only work with Cinema 4D and not commandline ore c4dpy.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Thanks @ferdinand, you answered my question brilliantly, as you always do.
Cheers

@ferdinand Thank you, I got the script I wanted using the answer code!

@ferdinand

Thanks for the response.

That's what I was afraid of. 😦

John Thomas

Hey @John_Do,

you can add as many EventAdd as you want, it does not really hurt. All that will happen is that Cinema 4D will see that there is already an event and then do nothing. Technically speaking, it can make sense to have multiple EventAdd calls in a row - when you set the flags in c4d.EventAdd(flags=EVENT_NONE) as your call might then add a flag to the next upcoming event.

It is a bit odd that you need an EventAdd at the end of your CommandData:Execute, but your screen grab clearly shows that it is necessary, so just keep it there. Maybe I also just misremembered something there.

But I am a bit confused to what is now concretely not working.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hey @pyxelrigger,

Thank you for reaching out to us. BaseList2D.GetUserDataContainer should do the trick.

Hello @hoganXYZ,

Welcome to the Maxon developers forum and its community, it is great to have you with us!

Getting Started

Before creating your next postings, we would recommend making yourself accustomed with our forum and support procedures. You did not do anything wrong, we point all new users to these rules.

Forum Overview: Provides a broad overview of the fundamental structure and rules of this forum, such as the purpose of the different sub-forums or the fact that we will ban users who engage in hate speech or harassment. Support Procedures: Provides a more in detail overview of how we provide technical support for APIs here. This topic will tell you how to ask good questions and limits of our technical support. Forum Features: Provides an overview of the technical features of this forum, such as Markdown markup or file uploads.

It is strongly recommended to read the first two topics carefully, especially the section Support Procedures: Asking Questions.

About your First Question

While you obviously have put a lot of effort in your posting, the somewhat brutal truth is that it is too long and does not pose a specific question, or that it is at least very hard to pinpoint them. I would recommend having a look at the support procedures lined out above and the section for how to ask good questions. The briefer the better and the question should be ideally in the first sentence.

So, when I read here a bit between the lines, you want to access the data container of a node, for example for the render data. You somehow landed there on description access, but that is a little bit backwards way of doing things. I tried to untangle a few things in the code example shown below. I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Code """Demonstrates how to access the parameter data of a node at the example of the active render data. """ import c4d doc: c4d.documents.BaseDocument # The currently active document. op: c4d.BaseObject | None # The primary selected object in `doc`.

""" # Get the active render data for the document. rdata: c4d.documents.RenderData = doc.GetActiveRenderData() # Each scene element (e.g. objects, materials, tags, etc.) has a a data container and a # description.

They are a list of key-value pairs # where the key is an integer and the value is one of the many types a BaseContainer can hold. # For these integer values then exist symbols to make things a bit more readable. We can iterate # over a container, but unlike for descriptions this will not unfold nested containers. for key, value in data: print(f"Key: {key}, Type: {type(value)}, Value: {value}") # Key: 6014, Type: <class 'int'>, Value: 1 # Key: 5008, Type: <class 'float'>, Value: 1280.0 # Key: 5009, Type: <class 'float'>, Value: 720.0 # Key: 6004, Type: <class 'float'>, Value: 72.0 # Key: 6006, Type: <class 'float'>, Value: 1.7777777777777777 # ... # Or we can use a symbol to access a value directly, here with __getitem__ syntax (the square # brackets) unique to Python (there are also GetInt32, GetFloat, GetString, etc. methods). print(f"{data[c4d.RDATA_XRES] = }") # data[c4d.RDATA_XRES] = 1280.0 print ("\n", "-" * 100, "\n") # A description is the somewhat GUI counter part to the data container of a node, it holds for # example the name of a parameter (in the currently active language) and also its API symbol # (when there is one, not all parameters have one). Descriptions also expose more data "entries" # then a data container, as we will also see here things like groups and basic parameters shared # by all nodes. descData: c4d.BaseContainer # The data container of the currently yielded parameter. pid: int # The ID of the currently yielded parameter. # Iterate over all parameters in the description, this will unfold nested data. for descData, pid, _ in description: label: str = descData[c4d.DESC_NAME] # Get the label of the parameter as seen in Cinema 4D. # One of the more fringe values of a description are the API symbol strings.

We use here C4DAtom.GetParameter() which in Python is again # wrapped as __getitem__ (in this case as GeListNode.__getitem__ for some reason and not as # C4DAtom.__getitem__). # We have to be however a bit cautious as not all parameter values are wrapped for Python # and accessing them will then fail.

Hello @fwilleke80,

thank you for reaching out to us.

I noticed that, in C4D 2024, the return value of BaseContainer::GetDirty() does not always change after changing a value in the container. Is this a bug? I am using BaseContainer::GetDirty() to detect changes to a container, and now this doesn't work anymore.

While this certainly sounds like a bug, without something more concrete we can do nothing to help you here. Which parameter types have been changed? The context somewhat implies that this does happen when writing custom data types? We will need code to do anything concrete here.

If a fairy granted me three wishes, I would greatly appreciate ...

I think the problem with both are custom data types and that our tech team is probably a bit reluctant to rely for collision resistance on external developers (when we would offer a CustomDataTypeClass::GetHashCode). We could of course implement it and then not use it ourself, but that is not how we tend to do things.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

One things I forget, is that if you want to extend redshift currently the only way would be via the OSL node they provide, and provide an asset for this OSL node.

Cheers,
Maxie.

Hi @spedler regarding your issue, it's correct all changes done within the resource editor need to be saved, via the menu (file -> Save Database) otherwise change will get lost.

Regarding the needs for the double-click, that's a missing refresh in our cache, I've reported to the responsible dev, thanks a lot !

Cheers,
Maxime.

Thanks for the reply, @ferdinand

Thanks for the reply, @ferdinand.

I can confirm that below syntax doesn't work. I still get the same error.

AdditionalLinkOptions=%(AdditionalOptions) /DELAYLOAD:"mydll.dll"

I'll see what alternatives I could use.

@ferdinand said in GvNodeMaster::Execute() returns error:

Since you do your own stuff, this could for example fail in the DL_TERMINAL node you implemented in addition to some of the init stuff going wrong.

I have confirmed that the error seems to come from my own GvOperatorData()-plugins (shader nodes). When I delete all my own nodes in the graph and only use the build in c4d xpresso nodes, then GvNodeMaster updates correctly. I will look into this, but now I know where to look! We can mark this as solved for now.

"I can of course also just have a look at it, but I will not be able to run your project to see and tell you why it fails exactly"
At this stage, I was just looking for general feedback on how and when the Execute() function was supposed to work correctly, i.e., if it needed to be called in a special context or similar. This is also why I did not post detailed code initially. I don´t fully agree that detailed code is always needed to discuss an issue, even if it of course sometimes helps in clarifying things! Anyway, thanks a lot for the good support, it is really helpful and I appreciate the availability of this forum - it really helps!

Best regards
/Filip

Hi @pyxelrigger there is no real way to execute a script outside of Cinema 4D without Cinema 4D. The only option is to execute c4dpy which is a complete Cinema 4D instance run as a python interpreter. For more information about it, please read c4dpy manual. Note that you have the same limitation as a standalone Cinema 4D so you can't execute multiple c4dpy instance at the same time or they need to be in different folders.

Except that note that tkinter does not come by default with Cinema 4D, so you will need to install manually and don't really officially support, so it may or may not works, but from our personal experience in the SDK team, it should work.

Cheers,
Maxime.
