How to get a MoGraph Selection using a Python Effector...

noseman

Thanks to the help of @m_adam I have the simplest code that allows you to get the MoGraph Selection data from a MoGraph Generator with a MoGraph Selection.
In the attached project, I have a Matrix Object with a MoGraph Selection Tag and the Python effector that prints the selection data to the console.
This implementation requires you drag the Selection Tag into the "Selection" link (Effector Tab->Selection).
Because the method is based on the Tag Name, make sure the Selection Tag has a nice unique name to avoid any confusion.
The code is fully Commented for your convenience (or inconvenience for that matter)...

import c4d
from c4d import gui

from c4d.modules import mograph as mo


def main():
    moData = mo.GeGetMoData(op) #Get MoGraph Data

    moSelTagName = op[c4d.ID_MG_BASEEFFECTOR_SELECTION] #Get the MoGraph Selection Tag Name from the Effector's "Selection" Link

    # Retrieve the first tag attached to the generator (the Matrix) matching the name

    moSelTag = None # initialize the "moSelTag" Variable

    for tag in gen.GetTags(): # Go through All tags on the MoGraph Generator...
        # "gen" is a Global Variable holding the MoGraph Generator (e.g. the cloner object which executes the Python Effector)

        if not tag.IsInstanceOf(c4d.Tmgselection): # if the tag is NOT a MoGraph Selection, try the next tag
            continue

        # if the previous is FALSE, then the Tag is a MoGraph Selection
        if tag.GetName() == moSelTagName: # Does the Tag found above have the same name as the Linked Selection Tag?
            moSelTag = tag # If the above is true, then set the Variable to that Tag and Break the Original Loop to continue down
            break

    if moSelTag: # If after all of the above we have a valid tag in the Variable, then do the following:
        sel = mo.GeGetMoDataSelection(moSelTag) #Get the Mograph Selection from the Tag
        selData = sel.GetAll(moData.GetCount()) #Get the Data from the Mograph Selection
        print(selData) # Print the Data


# Execute main()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()
