Alloc() is a static method that returns a newly allocated PolygonObject, but as you already have a PolygonObject (pmine) you should call ResizeObject() instead:
pmine->ResizeObject(100,0);Also in the for-loop you have to assign points position with [] or pointer arithmetic:
for (LONG i=0;i<100;i++) padr[i] = Vector(0,0,0);or
for (LONG i=0;i<100;i++,padr++) *padr = Vector(0,0,0); -

thanks alot for the help
it worked...by the way....did i made any code mistakes ( i mean after the loop with msg update and c4d event) -

another question ( as i'm still new :D) .... i'm using the cinema4d sdk solution in vs 2010 ...win 8 64 bit (win 7 64 bit compiler) ... what should i add in c++ general properties ...linker ..to do debug...
thanks in advance

_To debug a plugin you have to build it in Debug configuration and set CINEMA.exe as the executable for debug session in Configuration properties->Debugging:Command. See also the docs at the Debug Information's page.

still i need to know why the above code crashes (searched for pla data type...but didn't find any example...so i assumed it's long data type...though i think the fail isn't from data type ... -

Have you tested that MyTrack isn't NULL?
You should create a track and insert it with InsertTrackSorted() instead. -

Hi,
We can allocate a PLA track with the following DescID:
DescID descID = DescLevel(CTpla, CTpla, 0L);Anyway, here's a piece of code (mainly taken from Robert Templeton's code in this post) that shows how to animate the points of a PolygonObject:
// Allocate a polygon object with 4 points and 1 polygon PolygonObject *polyObj = PolygonObject::Alloc(4, 1); if (!polyObj) return FALSE; polyObj->SetName("MyPolygon"); doc->InsertObject(polyObj, NULL, NULL); // Get point buffer Vector *dpoints = polyObj->GetPointW(); // Get polygon buffer and initialize it CPolygon *dpolygons = polyObj->GetPolygonW(); dpolygons[0].a = 0; dpolygons[0].b = 1; dpolygons[0].c = 2; dpolygons[0].d = 3; // Update polygon object and document polyObj->Message(MSG_UPDATE); EventAdd(); // Allocate PLA track DescID descID = DescLevel(CTpla, CTpla, 0L); CTrack *track = CTrack::Alloc(polyObj, descID); if (!track) return FALSE; polyObj->InsertTrackSorted(track); // Get track curve to create keys for each frame CCurve *seq = track->GetCurve(); if (!seq) return FALSE; CKey *key = NULL; // Sample Animation at each frame ModelingCommandData mcd; mcd.doc = doc; mcd.op = polyObj; BaseContainer mbc; mbc.SetBool(MDATA_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT_INHERITANCE, TRUE); mbc.SetBool(MDATA_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT_KEEPANIMATION, FALSE); mcd.bc = &mbc; mcd.flags = MODELINGCOMMANDFLAGS_0; BaseObject *csto = NULL; PointObject *defd = NULL; LONG pointCount = polyObj->GetPointCount(); LONG pointSize = pointCount*sizeof(Vector); const Vector *spoints = NULL; Vector *points = NULL; BaseTime stime = doc->GetMinTime(); BaseTime etime = doc->GetMaxTime(); Real fps = doc->GetFps(); LONG startf = stime.GetFrame(fps); LONG endf = etime.GetFrame(fps); LONG currentf = 0L; for (; startf <= endf; startf += 1L) { stime = BaseTime::BaseTime(startf, fps); currentf = stime.GetFrame(fps); // Animate document doc->SetTime(stime); doc->ExecutePasses(NULL, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, BUILDFLAGS_0); EventAdd(); // Current State to Object if (!SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT, mcd)) return FALSE; csto = (BaseObject* )(mcd.result->GetIndex(0)); AtomArray::Free(mcd.result); if (!csto) return FALSE; if (csto->IsInstanceOf(Onull)) defd = ToPoint(csto->GetDown()); else defd = ToPoint(csto); if (!defd) return FALSE; // Add key key = seq->AddKey(stime); if (!key) { BaseObject::Free(csto); return FALSE; } // Add PLA key data spoints = defd->GetPointR(); if (!spoints) { BaseObject::Free(csto); break; } // Modify points for animation points = defd->GetPointW(); if (!points) return FALSE; points[0] = Vector(-1000*currentf,0,-1000*currentf); points[1] = Vector(-1000*currentf,0,1000*currentf); points[2] = Vector(1000*currentf,0,1000*currentf); points[3] = Vector(1000*currentf,0,-1000*currentf); // Copy source points (read) to original polygon object points (write) CopyMem(spoints, dpoints, pointSize); // Fill key with default values if (!track->FillKey(doc, polyObj, key)) { BaseObject::Free(csto); return FALSE; } // Do not forgot to free CSTO command's object BaseObject::Free(csto); } doc->SetTime(doc->GetMinTime()); -

well i've found that size of vector is 24 bytes...this means vector data is considered (double)?which is real in c4d library

another question...does points have rotation? i've found in the sdk there's position and tangent tags...but when i try to rotate points it doesn't seem to rotate in viewport(resets gizmo rotation each time)

well i've solved the problems and found answers
just when i was reading the posts i noticed everytime i type a for loop and type the array brackets it doesnt appear (just for readers to notice that it's an iteration over array index)
