how do i calculate the correct matrixes for a geraycollide to get the option to move the target and the source? all i see is that geraycollide works with local matrixes and i presume that i need to calculate a global matrix for it. but i don't know how

  
import c4d
from c4d.modules import mograph as mo
from c4d.utils import GeRayCollider
#Welcome to the world of Python
  
def main() :
  
    md = mo.GeGetMoData(op)
    if md is None: return False
    
    cnt = md.GetCount()
    marr = md.GetArray(c4d.MODATA_MATRIX)
    fall = md.GetFalloffs()
    ray = GeRayCollider()
    UsrDtColl = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,1]
    ray.Init(UsrDtColl, True)
    
    ml = gen.GetMl()
    mg = gen.GetMg()
    img = ~mg
    
  
    
    for i in reversed(xrange(0, cnt)) :
                
        if ray.Intersect(marr[i].off+img.off,marr[i].off+img.off, 300) == True:
            marr[i].off =  ray.GetNearestIntersection()["hitpos"]
            
    md.SetArray(c4d.MODATA_MATRIX, marr, True)
    
   
  
    return True

status update:

now i can move the source point of the GeRayCollide, rotate won't work atm.
next step is to make the collider moveable too.
