@m_magalhaes
Thanks for the example. I am sure this will be helpful in future, however for now I am still stuck with the classic API to remain backwards compatible.

While there isn't a readily available solution to the problem, a few options have been mentioned how to handle this. As such I will set the topic as solved.

Hello to all

@zipit said in GetFontDescription() on Windows and Mac:

FONT_FLAGS

Thank you

Hi,

without further feedback, I'll set this thread as solved tomorrow.

@r_gigante Thanks for confirming. We will try to reverse engineer the filenames based on that data.

@iluxa7k said in Faster way of checking if dialog has closed?:

LP_c_long

Long story short it's a pointer http://makble.com/the-story-of-lpclong, and I think the method provided by Zipit is the best one, since as he said there is no way to control the behavior of an external (from your plugin) GeDialog.

@m_magalhaes said in Trigger Tag:

I though you were using a hidden BaseLink parameter on your tag to point to the other tag.

Ah, didn't think about that. Clever.

Hi @pyxelrigger thanks for reaching out us.

With regard to your question, I'm a bit confused cause you mentioned having your layout opened every time with a default width and height (regardless of the values stored in the layout) whilst, on the contrary, you pasted a method belonging to GeDialog::Open().

Question: is a dialog or a layout to open every time with a default width and height?

Cheers, R

@kikizg Yes we are aware of it and it's already reported.

Thanks for you feedback, if you find other weird stuff, please post them.
Cheers,
Maxime.

hi,

can we considered this thread as solved ? (at least we answered your question)
Without further feedback i'll set it to solved tomorrow.

hi,

juste as a follow up, we've update our example and include this one.

insert a material to the selected polygons

Cheers,
Manuel

Thanks for the confirmation. I shall treat the extra link directions as nonexistent then 😉

Hi Cayring this is indeed a bug I'm going to report them and fix them (both for BaseMaterial and shader) as soon as possible 🙂

If you have other cases like that please report them.

I set the topic as solved, I will bump this topic once the fix will be available.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Thanks! seems to work well!

the problem is that apparently it only runs on the tag, if I set the option as a UserData of my object, it doesn't work

@m_adam Thank you for the confirmation and the reading suggestions.

Just for context, this is a general conceptual question and not connected to a specific code issue. I noticed the behavior while doing some test scripts with id() and is. It is worth noting that these Python properties need to be used carefully in concert with C4D objects.

(I wouldn't exactly recommend using pointer comparisons in C++ either 😉 )

I will include an "advanced" chapter in my Python/C4D book to mention this.

The source code of the C++ version of CompareFloatTolerant() is actually available in the frameworks\cinema.framework\source\ge_ieee.cpp and/or \frameworks\core.framework\source\maxon\general_math.cpp file of the C++ SDK. I assume the Python version just calls the C++ function.

@PluginStudent and @m_adam

The plugin from @noseman works.
It works for now in my use case, but correct me if I'm wrong it cannot have a priority parameter because it is a generator (?).

Ben
