you have to overload the CheckDirty function. More info in the SDK docs.

Katachi,

in SDK i see:
You can overload this function to check for a change in a deformer object manually. This example will make your deformer update every frame.

Can i overload this function to see if a spline is change?

Thanks

yes, you could use GetDirty() to check if the checksum changed.

Thanks, but there are some little things that i must verify.
With old scene this seem not work, with a fresh scene it's working.

Maybe that i wrong.

void PathDeformer::CheckDirty(PluginObject* op, BaseDocument* doc)
{
     BaseContainer *data = op->GetDataInstance();
     BaseObject *spline=data->GetObjectLink(PATHDEFORMER_SPLINE,doc);
     if (spline)
     {
          if (spline->IsDirty(DIRTY_DATA) )
          {
               //GePrint("Points Changed");
               op->SetDirty(DIRTY_DATA);
          }

if (spline->IsDirty(DIRTY_MATRIX))
          {
               //GePrint("Matrix Changed");
               op->SetDirty(DIRTY_MATRIX);
          }
          else GePrint ("damn!");
     }
}

what do you think?

thanks

I wouldn´t do it with isDirty but with GetDirty()!

Create a private member in your object class, sth like:

private:
ULONG s_dirty;

then use something like (pseudo-code) :

ULONG dirty_bit = spline->GetDirty(DIRTY_DATA|DIRTY_MATRIX);  
if(dirty_bit!=s_dirty)  
{  
    s_dirty = dirty_bit;  
    op->SetDirty(DIRTY_MATRIX);   
    /*Or DIRTY_DATA depending on when your deformer updates*/  
}
