Hallo Matthias,

I construct a desclevel like this(pretty standard) :
(1)
DescID desID = DescID(DescLevel(index,Vtype,0),DescLevel(Vpart,Vtype,0)));
Then i do the FindTrack, track creation and insertion if needed, and the the key, via the curve.

But i need to add (and create) all kinds of keys (and tracks) for the objects(On, Position, scale, etc).
So i need dynamically (from code) what this input is.

I need to determine 'index', 'Vtype', 'Vpart'. in the DescLevel construction part(1)

Oh yes, this code resides outside the node class.

Thanks for doing this.

Jan

As answer for your first post. You set a wrong value in SetPriorityValue(). Here some working code:

To get the type of the port you could use the GvGetPortGeData() function from the "Graph view data format" chapter of the SDK docu. It returns a GeData from which it is easy to retrieve the type. For the description you have to use the MainID and SubID. Check the top of the GvPort chapter in the docu.

Thanks Matthias,

But where do i get a 'run' outside the node class?

Use the GetRun() of the GvNodeMaster.

Yes, that's it. I think it works. My code crashes for now, but that has something to do with my loop and pointers. I will to look into it.

So the answer was in the docs all the time.
My problem is not with the docs, but most of the time one has no clue where to look.

By the way, can one find out if an object has a gvNode representation(if it is dropped in a XGroup by the user)?

Anyway, many, many thanks Matthias.

Hi,

No luck.
The crash is caused because the GvNodeMaster->GetRun() returns NULL, as Robert mentioned in: https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/2895

What to do now ??

Hey Matthias how are things going?
I'm working on it also. Do you or someone else know why this resulting DescID depth is zero? Look:

(we allready have a Node(node) and a Port (port).

  
long portid = port->GetMainID();  
  
GvOperatorData *od = n->GetOperatorData();  
if (!od) break;  
  
DescID descid = od->GetDescID(node, GV_PORT_INPUT, portid);  
  
GePrint("DescID depth: " + LongToString(descid.GetDepth()));  
=====================================

The previous post should do the trick, because I can use the descid to: FindTrack(descid), and to: CTrack::Alloc(ob, decid).

Or do I see this wrong?

Djee, I only need to know dynamically a port's animated parameter, like:

ID_BASEOBJECT_POSITION or
CAMERA_FOCUS.

That can be done can't it ??
I just need to create a track and a key programaticaly.
When i started this, I thougt it was peanuts.

Matthias, still no sign of the developers?

Ok, in the meanwhile, I have setup an elaborate system of recognizing a port by it's name string!

1. I get the port's name from the GvPortDescription

2. construct the description id from a list of known port names and get the animated parameter id (like "Position . X")

3.Then I can create a track and set a key.

Well, it's a long list and there are a lot of if's and 'switch's but it works for now.

There are big disadvantages: it is slow, only the english language can be used and it's practically impossible to support all posible animatable parameters. (and it is unelegant)

Jan

I still have no answer for you but I am fiddling around with it too.

Btw. depending from where you call GetOperatorData() it is not allowed to call the virtual functions. See the docu note:

Note: You can only use the virtual functions of this object if you are in the same module that registered the node!

Yes, I am aware of your alert.

But I'm not sure. At the moment I use the GvNode->GetPortDescription in my (dialog) plugin. Would that cause a problem ?

Awaiting a word from you, I stopped experimenting with GetOperatorData(), because the DescID was not valid anyway.

By the way, I need to set keys for C4D BaseObjects or derivates, so not created by my plug.

This is ok to do.

So if I understand this right you want to check Xpresso Object nodes for their ports and then create tracks depending on the ports?
