Hi,

I have a tag plugin that modifies the points of a spline object that the tag is on. I have a button for that tag plugin to remember the current state of the spline (the point locations), so I can reset it at anytime by clicking another button in the AM.

To keep a current state of the spline, I create an member array, and copy the SplineObject::GetPoint() values into my new array, like this

  
lPointCount = op->GetPointCount();  
  
OriginalPoints = new Vector[lPointCount];  
Vector *vadr = op->GetPoints();  
  
for(j=0; j < lPointCount; j++)  
{  
// Store original point  
OriginalPoints[j] = vadr[j];  
}

OriginalPoints is a member variable.

My problem is, if I move the points of the spline using standard c4d tools, and then clicking the undo button in C4D, it NULL's my OriginalPoints variable, causing it crash on some functions of my plugin.

Why would undo reset my OriginalPoints variable?

This is a bad problem, as I'm saving the OriginalPoints array to the file, and if the user clicks undo first. It crashes C4D

Thanks

Undo would call CopyTo. Do copy all of the data in the CopyTo function?

Thanks Darf,

I didn't know Undo called CopyTo so consequently I wasn't passing the array.

It works a charm now, thanks again
