I'm writing a script to create a bunch of userdata for some rig controllers.
I figured out how to set custom id's and organize the descriptions into groups, but there's still one thing I couldn't figure out.Is there a way to place a group description into its own AM tab by scripting? I've been searching through the documentation but I couldn't find the id to parent the group to. It's always dropped in the 'UserData' group.
here's my code so far:
import c4d dct = { "space" : 1000, "root" : 1001, "cog" : 1002, "chest" : 1003, "collar" : 2001, "shoulder": 2002, "elbow" : 2003, "wrist" : 2004, "hip" : 3002, "knee" : 3003, "ankle" : 3004, "ball" : 3005, } def AddGroup( name, obj, gid ) : bc = c4d.GetCustomDataTypeDefault( c4d.DTYPE_GROUP ) bc[ c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP ] = gid bc[ c4d.DESC_NAME ] = name bc[ c4d.DESC_TITLEBAR ] = True bc[ c4d.DESC_PARENTID ] = None did = c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.ID_USERDATA), c4d.DescLevel( dct[ name ] )) #<- i don't know which DescLevel value to use obj.SetUserDataContainer( did, bc ) return b = obj.GetUserDataContainer() if b is None: return else: dummyid = obj.AddUserData( bc ) b = obj.GetUserDataContainer() b[0][0].SetId( c4d.DescLevel( uid ) ) obj.SetUserDataContainer( b[0][0], bc ) obj.RemoveUserData( dummyid ) return 1000 def AddSlider( name, obj, gid ) : bc = c4d.GetCustomDataTypeDefault( c4d.DTYPE_REAL ) bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP] = gid bc[c4d.DESC_NAME ] = name bc[c4d.DESC_SHORT_NAME ] = name bc[c4d.DESC_MIN ] = 0.0 bc[c4d.DESC_MAX ] = 1.0 bc[c4d.DESC_STEP ] = 0.01 bc[c4d.DESC_UNIT ] = c4d.DESC_UNIT_PERCENT bc[c4d.DESC_CUSTOMGUI ] = c4d.CUSTOMGUI_REALSLIDER did = c4d.DescID( c4d.DescLevel( c4d.ID_USERDATA ), c4d.DescLevel( dct[ name ] ) ) obj.SetUserDataContainer( did, bc ) return def main() : obj = doc.GetActiveObject() #obj = doc.GetActiveTag() doc.StartUndo() doc.AddUndo( c4d.UNDOTYPE_CHANGE_SMALL, obj ) for descid, bc in obj.GetUserDataContainer() : print descid, bc[ c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP ] AddGroup ( "space", obj, 100 ) gid = c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.ID_USERDATA), c4d.DescLevel( dct[ "space" ] )) #using 'space' group as parent for next elements AddSlider( "root", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "cog", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "chest", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "collar", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "shoulder", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "elbow", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "wrist", obj, gid ) #AddSlider( "collar", 3001, obj ) AddSlider( "hip", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "knee", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "ankle", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "ball", obj, gid ) doc.EndUndo() c4d.EventAdd() return if __name__=='__main__': main() -

Try this version of your script.
It should create the sliders in a "My Sliders" tab instead of the standard "UserData" tabimport c4d dct = { "space" : 1000, "root" : 1001, "cog" : 1002, "chest" : 1003, "collar" : 2001, "shoulder": 2002, "elbow" : 2003, "wrist" : 2004, "hip" : 3002, "knee" : 3003, "ankle" : 3004, "ball" : 3005, } def AddGroup( name, obj, gid ) : bc = c4d.GetCustomDataTypeDefault( c4d.DTYPE_GROUP ) bc[ c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP ] = gid bc[ c4d.DESC_NAME ] = name bc[ c4d.DESC_TITLEBAR ] = True bc[ c4d.DESC_PARENTID ] = None did = c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.ID_USERDATA), c4d.DescLevel( dct[ name ] )) #<- i don't know which DescLevel value to use obj.SetUserDataContainer( did, bc ) return b = obj.GetUserDataContainer() if b is None: return else: dummyid = obj.AddUserData( bc ) b = obj.GetUserDataContainer() b[0][0].SetId( c4d.DescLevel( uid ) ) obj.SetUserDataContainer( b[0][0], bc ) obj.RemoveUserData( dummyid ) return 1000 def AddSlider( name, obj, gid ) : bc = c4d.GetCustomDataTypeDefault( c4d.DTYPE_REAL ) bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP] = gid bc[c4d.DESC_NAME ] = name bc[c4d.DESC_SHORT_NAME ] = name bc[c4d.DESC_MIN ] = 0.0 bc[c4d.DESC_MAX ] = 1.0 bc[c4d.DESC_STEP ] = 0.01 bc[c4d.DESC_UNIT ] = c4d.DESC_UNIT_PERCENT bc[c4d.DESC_CUSTOMGUI ] = c4d.CUSTOMGUI_REALSLIDER did = c4d.DescID( c4d.DescLevel( c4d.ID_USERDATA ), c4d.DescLevel( dct[ name ] ) ) obj.SetUserDataContainer( did, bc ) return def main() : obj = doc.GetActiveObject() if not obj: return False doc.StartUndo() doc.AddUndo( c4d.UNDOTYPE_CHANGE_SMALL, obj ) #The topmost group will be the AM TAB itself Groupbc = c4d.GetCustomDatatypeDefault(c4d.DTYPE_GROUP) Groupbc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP] = c4d.DescID(0) #<---Points to the tab's ID Groupbc[c4d.DESC_NAME] = "My Sliders" #<---The text dipayed in the TAB instead of UserData Groupbc[c4d.DESC_TITLEBAR] = True obj.AddUserData(Groupbc) #for descid, bc in obj.GetUserDataContainer() : # print descid, bc[ c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP ] AddGroup ( "space", obj, 100 ) #Adds the sliders to the new group in the "UserData" tab #gid = c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.ID_USERDATA), c4d.DescLevel( dct[ "space" ] )) #Adds the sliders to the new group in the "My Sliders" tab gid = obj.GetUserDataContainer()[0][0] AddSlider( "root", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "cog", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "chest", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "collar", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "shoulder", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "elbow", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "wrist", obj, gid ) #AddSlider( "collar", 3001, obj ) AddSlider( "hip", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "knee", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "ankle", obj, gid ) AddSlider( "ball", obj, gid ) doc.EndUndo() c4d.EventAdd() return if __name__=='__main__': main()-ScottA

awesome!
bc[ c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP ] = c4d.DescID( 0 ) was what was missing from the group description element in my script. It now works as intended
Thanks Scott.
