Hi,

thanks a lot. I've opened a bug entry for that one. It will be fixed in a futur release.

@m_adam
Dear Maxime thanks for everything!
But, unfortunally now that I almost finished this part I realized that all this scripting doen't give me the desired procedural result. It just changes the values once but if i change the values of the PARENT object the OBJECT_A (child) is not updated...
Anyway I have to approach it in a different way.

I think I should tag this thread as "SOLVED" and in case I need again help i create a new one.
Please advise me Maxime.

And for one more time THANK YOU both , Maxime and Zipit

Hi,

without further feedback, we will consider this thread as solved by tomorrow and flag it accordingly.

Cheers,

@m_adam Thank you!

Yes, I use the auto way.
I thought that using ScrollArea() it would only display that part (no need to draw the other parts).
So, fill the virtual UA once and then display parts of it using ScrollArea().

But if "you still need to draw completely the GeUserArea with all the DrawBitmap", there will be no speed benefit.

I will try it under R21 and will read "Profiling Python Plugins".

Thank you, Pim

It's actually due to a lower number of bits used to store the floating value.

Thanks! seems to work well!

the problem is that apparently it only runs on the tag, if I set the option as a UserData of my object, it doesn't work

While the method provided by Zipit Is fine, it is not 100% reliable.

here how to achieve, unfortunately, the ELEMENT_Count value is hardcoded and no way for you to retrieve it.

constraintTag = doc.GetActiveTag() targetCount = constraintTag[c4d.ID_CA_CONSTRAINT_TAG_PARENT_TARGET_COUNT] for i in range(targetCount): CONSTRAINT_ELEMENT = 10 # This is hardcoded targetId = c4d.ID_CA_CONSTRAINT_TAG_PARENT_TARGET_COUNT + i * CONSTRAINT_ELEMENT + 1 print(constraintTag[targetId])

Cheers,
Maxime.

@zipit @m_adam

Apologies for the late response. Thank you for the confirmation both.
I will close this for now.

Okay!
Thanks for the info @m_adam !

Oh, and on macOS it is General - Text - Flag Edit Saved

Just to add on top,
os.path.listdir and os.path.join in python 2 are context-specific, so if you input a Unicode string it will output a Unicode string, if you input a regular string it will output a regular string.
Now the culprit is on c4d.documents.MergeDocument because normally this method accepts a C++ Filename object (which is the Classic API that under the hood uses the new MaxonAPI maxon::Url). Unfortunately, the Python parser is not able to convert from a Python Unicode string to a C++ Filename, but only from a Python ASCII string to a filename.

So indeed casting from Unicode string to ASCII is the solution.

Maxime.

Hi @lasselauch there is actually no plan to update ResEdit.

There is the R20 Resource Editor but for the moment it's only for Node stuff.

Cheers,
Maxime.

@mp5gosu

Ah brilliant. Thanks for that!

And apologies for being such a noob at this.

@mp5gosu thanks for the addition.

Cheers,
Manuel

Ah, you probably expect the toroids to also rotate around their own axis

exactly. Thanks

Thanks again @PluginStudent for helping me so quickly.

That was enough information to help me find the .MakeUserSpline function that allows me to do exactly what I'm after:

MakeUserSpline('sin(x * PI)', 5)

More info here for anyone looking.

Cheers,
Jamie

@m_magalhaes
Oh man... thank you so much. Even when I read your reply, I couldn't "see" it in the Node... was staring at it for to long.
thanks.
