In my plugin, the user can store the current settings to be used as default using SetWorldPluginData(). And they are retrieved for a new instance (in Init()) using GetWorldPluginData(). All of the values are stored and retrieved except for the SPLINE customgui/customdatatype settings. It comes up empty when the plugin data is retrieved and applied to the plugin container. How do I do this?

In Message for MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND, the user can store the current settings:

DescriptionCommand* dc = static_cast<DescriptionCommand*>(data);  
BaseObject* op = static_cast<BaseObject*>(node);  
if (!dc)    return;  
LONG id =    dc->id[0].id;  
// Save As User Default Settings  
if (id == COLLISIONDEFORMER_SETDEFAULT)  
{  
  // Set a World Preference from this object's BaseContainer settings  
   SetWorldPluginData(ID_COLLISIONDEFORMER_OBJ, op->GetData(), TRUE);  
}

And when a new plugin object is created, I do this in the Init() :

BaseContainer*    bc =    ((BaseList2D* )node)->GetDataInstance();  
if (!bc)                            return FALSE;  
BaseContainer*    wbc =    GetWorldPluginData(ID_COLLISIONDEFORMER_OBJ);  
if (!wbc)  
{  
  FactoryReset(bc);  
  return;  
}  
// General  
// ... Other settings retrieved (and working)  
// - Bulge Shape (Spline)  
// ... Doing this to see if it needs initialization before retrieval (?)  
GeData        d(CUSTOMDATATYPE_SPLINE, DEFAULTVALUE);  
SplineData*    sd =    (SplineData* )d.GetCustomDataType(CUSTOMDATATYPE_SPLINE);  
if (sd)  
{  
  sd->MakeLinearSpline(2L);  
  sd->SetRound(1.0);  
}  
bc->SetData(COLLISIONDEFORMER_BSHAPE,        d);  
bc->SetData(COLLISIONDEFORMER_BSHAPE,        wbc->GetData(COLLISIONDEFORMER_BSHAPE));

Hello and Bump?

Really no idea how to do this? I have not been able to do this successfully yet. Yeah, it works during the session but if I close and restart C4D, nothing shows up in the SPLINE. I've even tried breaking down the BaseContainer entries into another container for SetWorldPluginData(). Nothing. Could be that the information is being saved and it is not being setup or initialized into the SPLINE CustomGui properly. No idea. Need help.

Thanks,

I can confirm this strange behaviour. The container itself seems to be saved and there is an entry under the ID of your spline data but it's empty and returns DA_NIL for its data type.

I will report this.

cheers,
