Hey guys
I came across some python code for cinema 4d here:http://code.vonc.fr/?a=21
This is i am trying to reverse engineer it how he made the code.
Can somebody pls explain the algorithm or the process he used for making this plugin (allowing alternate selections). I know I am asking for a lot ( website is in french!!!) but it would be gr8 if someone gave a detailed explanation and not just hints.
Thanks a lot in advance.any help would be appreciated (you can link me to resources where i can learn about handling polygon selections in python for cinema 4d).

My approach would be to:
Translate and replace all the french words.
Add a print statement to every function.
Look up all the SDK methods in there to get a feel for what they do and what class they belong to.
Run it in cinema to get a feel for what it does.Or just email the guy and ask

I have tried playing with the plugin but i cannot understand what Sélectionner, Sur and Décalage do.
They have varied translation in french. The author is not replying mails. I guess its an old account he uses no more.
for eg. Decalage means shift in english. It means the intervals right? but it is not working so. -

An upgrated version of this script including a lot of selections tools is available here in French, English and Czech, CreamyGiraffe : http://code.vonc.fr/?a=23
I can't explain you all the algo, but you might find all you need with the Neighbor class :
https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2//help/modules/c4d.utils/Neighbor/index.html?highlight=neighborYou start at a selected poly and search the selected neighbor polys from it, and the selected neighbor of the neighbors, etc.
