Hi Suda,
thanks for stopping by and don't worry, nobody will be blamed for his English. I'm no native speaker myself.
If I understand correctly, you want to automate the job of caching cloth tags. By intuition I'd try that with a Python script.
Unfortunately the SDK Support Team can't help with developing such scripts from scratch. But I'm quite sure, there's somebody in the community, who may want to try himself on this. Anybody?

Hi Suda,

with Python you can do something like this:

  
import c4d  
  
def GetNextObject(op) :  
  
  if op==None:  
      return None  
    
  if op.GetDown() :  
      return op.GetDown()  
    
  while not op.GetNext() and op.GetUp() :  
      op = op.GetUp()  
    
  return op.GetNext()  
  
def IterateHierarchy(op) :  
  ClothTagList=[]  
  if op is None:  
      return  
   
  count = 0  
    
  while op:  
      count += 1  
      if op.GetTag(100004020)!= None: #id for the cloth tag  
          ClothTagList.append(op.GetTag(100004020))  
        
      op = GetNextObject(op)  
      
            
  return ClothTagList  
  
  
def main() :  
    
  doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()  
  first = doc.GetFirstObject()   
  ClothTagList=IterateHierarchy(first)  
    
    
  for i in ClothTagList:  
      c4d.CallButton(i, c4d.CLOTH_DO_CALCULATE )  
    
    
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

~~Another idea would be to directly simulate the Cache button.~~
~~You can use c4d.CallButton(...) to do this. As parameters you'll need to pass the object and the button ID.~~
Be aware: This call needs to be done from the main thread. For a normal Python script this is no problem, in a Python Plugin you might need to care.

Hi Andreas,

I´ve already used the call button in the script.
But thank you for the good hint to check the main thread inside a plugin.
As I´m scripting the snippet yesterday between changing diapers and singing a lullaby.
Here a more efficient script without a list and more error checking.

@ Suda
Hope this helps.

  
import c4d  
from c4d import gui  
  
def GetNextObject(op) :  
  
  if op==None:  
      return None  
    
  if op.GetDown() :  
      return op.GetDown()  
    
  while not op.GetNext() and op.GetUp() :  
      op = op.GetUp()  
    
  return op.GetNext()  
  
def IterateHierarchy(op) :  
    
    
  if op is None:  
      return  
   
  count = 0  
    
  while op:  
      count += 1  
      if op.GetType!=c4d.Opolygon:  
            
          dialog=gui.MessageDialog("A Polygon object for caching is needed",c4d.GEMB_OK)  
          if dialog== 1:  
              return  
      if op.GetTag(100004020)!= None:  
          ClothTag = op.GetTag(100004020)  
          c4d.CallButton(ClothTag, c4d.CLOTH_DO_CALCULATE )  
            
      op = GetNextObject(op)  
      
            
  return   
  
def main() :  
    
  doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()  
   
  first = doc.GetFirstObject()   
  if first == None:return  
  IterateHierarchy(first)  
    
    
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

Sorry, monkeytack, I didn't look closely enough. I didn't want to derogate your effort or idea.
Thanks for helping Suda out.
Would you allow us to integrate your code into our Python SDK docs?

Hi Andreas,

no need to apologise, every thing is alright.
And Yes, feel free to integrate everything I´ve posted, if it fits and someone can take advantage of it.
It´s a pleasure.
Best wishes
Martin
