I have an Object Generator plugin that has an only one button.
I want to perform some operations when pressing it.
For example, create a sphere and insert it under Object Generator plugin...

Here is how my code looks like, but it's not working...

import c4d
from c4d import plugins, utils
import os
  
TESTPLUGIN_ID = 1040447
TESTPLUGIN_VALUE = 1000
  
class Testplugin(c4d.plugins.ObjectData) :
  
    def Message(self, node, type, data) :
        if type == c4d.MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND:
        if data["id"][0].id == TESTPLUGIN_VALUE:
                sphere = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Osphere)
                sphere.InsertUnder(node)
        return True
  
if __name__ == "__main__":
    bmp = c4d.bitmaps.BaseBitmap()
    dir, file = os.path.split(__file__)
    fn = os.path.join(dir, "res", "icon.tif")
    bmp.InitWith(fn)
    result = plugins.RegisterObjectPlugin(
        id = TESTPLUGIN_ID, 
        str = "Test Plugin", 
        g = Testplugin, 
        description = 
        "Otestplugin", 
        info = c4d.OBJECT_GENERATOR, 
        icon = bmp)

Hi Merk,

Python pays a lot of attention to indentation and is never suggested to mix up spaces and tabs. Beware for the next time

Best, Riccardo
