I need to manipulate individual Clones based on calculations and input values inside of XPresso.
With Motion Graphics Data it is possible to select clones to extract data, but I haven't found a way to actually feed data back to a particular clone.I also tried a Coffee-Effector but it could not use the XPresso data and also a C.O.F.F.E.E. node in XPresso apparently can only be used to calculate things but cannot receive an Object or Instance directly.

Currently you only have access to the individual clones within the COFFEE effector.

With the COFFEE Effector I can manipulate the clones, but the Cloner is not updated automatically.
Only if I disable and re-enable the Effector, the Scene gets updated.
However, if I scrub through the Timeline from end to start, it updates for whatever reason.Below is a sample that pulls data from UserData and modifies the scale of the clones.
main(doc,op)
{
var o = doc->FindObject("BarChart");
var arr = new(array,5);
arr[0] = o#ID_USERDATA:1;
arr[1] = o#ID_USERDATA:2;
arr[2] = o#ID_USERDATA:3;
arr[3] = o#ID_USERDATA:4;
arr[4] = o#ID_USERDATA:5;
var md = GeGetMoData(op);
if (!md) return 1.0;
var index = md->GetCurrentIndex();
switch (md->GetBlendID())
{
case ID_MG_BASEEFFECTOR_SCALE:
println(arr[index]);
md->SetDirty();
return arr[index]-1;
break;
default: return 1.0; break;
}
return 1.0;
}Is it possible to upload a sample scene?

It seems that the document is only evaluated at frame 0.

Is this a bug or a feature?
Maybe I should cross-post it at Bug Reports? -

No need, I will forward the issue. It looks like a bug to me.

Was it confirmed as a bug and is there more information about when it might get fixed?
Apparently it was not fixed with the 11.523 update

FYI, played again with this setup, it works if you put the user data on the effector, if that helps.
So it seems the problem is reading the user data from external objects.
