Hello Manuel,
ok Thank you. I have used the solution that I have mentioned above.

hello,

So yes, you have to react to MSG_DESCRIPTION_POPUP, you can see an example on the nodedata manual

I thought first you wanted to create a popup menu.

Cheers,
Manuel

That's ok, I have meanwhile refactored everything* into a MessageData plugin anyway so the plugin will work** even if the dialog is closed.

*Everything except for timer stuff, which for some reason works differently for a dialog than for a message plugin.

**There are some strange effects like hanging or crashing application on Close, when the dialog is in certain states. I will need to investigate whether this is an effect of the missing CoreMessage calls or something that happens now due to refactoring.

Thanks @zipit,
Managed to solve it thanks to you.

hello,

without any news, i'll pass this thread to solved.

Cheers,
Manuel

Hi @mfersaoui in the future try to split as much as possible your topic in order to help other users to find relevant information.
I've forked all your discussion about baking in this post Bake Texture within ObjectData.

And please mark this topic as solved if your original question is answered (which I think is the case by the good answers from @zipit).

Cheers,
Maxime.

@m_magalhaes said in Writing data to the .c4d file:

You can also use del that is pythonic

bc = doc.GetDataInstance().GetContainerInstance(MyUniqueId) bc.RemoveData(2000) #del (bc[2000])

Wonderful, @m_magalhaes , thank you so much!

Hey zipit,

Exactly what I needed!

Best Regards,

Hello,

as said before, it is not the purpose of GetVirtualObject() to edit the scene or to edit elements of the scene; this includes materials.

@m_adam said in How to get mouse drag info from external through Python API?:

Hi sorry about the confusion of server.close I was referring to self.sock.close.

After some tests the main issue with your code is currently recvfrom is blocking, meaning until it receives something all the code is blocked, so TestBreak is never called and the thread never ends.

So using timeout solve the issue.

import c4d import socket class A(c4d.threading.C4DThread): sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) end = False def Main(self): self.sock.bind(("localhost", 20014)) while True: # use timeout to check for TestBreak() try: self.sock.settimeout(1.0) self.sock.listen(1) conn, addr = self.sock.accept() # connection print('Connection address:' + str(addr)) data = conn.recv(BUFFER_SIZE) if not data: print("Got no data.") break else: print("received data:" + str(data)) print str(data) self._data = str(data) # DO SOMETHING conn.close() # timeout except: if self.TestBreak(): self.sock.close() self.End() return continue self.sock.close() if __name__ == "__main__": threadedServer = A() threadedServer.Start()

Cheers,
Maxime.

Awosome, the whole script works very well now, thanks man, you help me quite a lot! mua~
