Create Xpresso Python node

Brakusha

Hi. I ask you to forgive me for my English. I have to use a translator. My problem is this: I'm trying to create a Xpresso Python node in my script, using a command GvNodeMaster.CreateNode. I`m use node ID_OPERATOR_COFFEE. The node appears in the editor window, but for some reason it is dead, and its title is red. Once created, I can't do anything with the node. Can't fill the script window or anything. I'm creating this node because there was already advice here: to create a Python node, contact the coffee operator. What am I doing wrong?

Sample code:

from typing import Optional
import c4d

doc: c4d.documents.BaseDocument  # The active document
op: Optional[c4d.BaseObject]  # The active object, None if unselected

def main() -> None:


    tag = op.GetTag(c4d.Texpresso)
    nodemaster = tag.GetNodeMaster()
    noderoot = nodemaster.GetRoot()
    mynode = nodemaster.CreateNode(noderoot, c4d.ID_OPERATOR_COFFEE, None, 0, 0)

    c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Hi you can create it this way:

from typing import Optional
import c4d

doc: c4d.documents.BaseDocument  # The active document
op: Optional[c4d.BaseObject]  # The active object, None if unselected

def main() -> None:
    tag = op.GetTag(c4d.Texpresso)
    nodemaster = tag.GetNodeMaster()
    noderoot = nodemaster.GetRoot()
    mynode = nodemaster.CreateNode(noderoot, c4d.GVpython, None, 0, 0)
    print(mynode.GetOperatorID() == c4d.GVpython)

    c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Cheers,
Maxime.

WOW!!! It turns out that there is a node specifically for python. But in the documentation, in the list GV Node Types, it is not indicated. This fact forced me to look for workarounds. Thanks for the help
