Python Tag not updating (The Sequel)

Where to I pass the str variable in the code? I do not see the place for it. Thanks.

Hi @Swinn could you post your code?

Swinn

import c4d
import maxon

def message(msg_type, data):
    if msg_type == c4d.MSG_NOTIFY_EVENT:
        event_data = data['event_data']
        msg_id = event_data['msg_id']
        if msg_id == c4d.MSG_DESCRIPTION_POSTSETPARAMETER:
            desc_id = event_data['msg_data']['descid']
            if desc_id[1].id == 2398: # The ID of the User Data
                txt = "Swinn"
                pythonLogger = maxon.Loggers.Python()
                pythonLogger.Write(maxon.TARGETAUDIENCE.ALL, txt, maxon.MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION(1), maxon.WRITEMETA.UI_SYNC_DRAW)
                mtx =  op.GetObject().GetMg()
                mtx.off = mtx.off + c4d.Vector(10,0,0)
                op.GetObject().SetMg(mtx)

def main():
    obj = op.GetObject()

    # Check if we already listen for message
    if not obj.FindEventNotification(doc, op, c4d.NOTIFY_EVENT_MESSAGE):
        obj.AddEventNotification(op, c4d.NOTIFY_EVENT_MESSAGE, 0, c4d.BaseContainer())

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

Here in the latest S22 it's working as it should, and print Swinn to the console, on which version are you?

Moreover what I was referring to is the LogerInterface.Write require a maxon.String, by convenience, if the passed data is a str (python Type) it will create on the fly a maxon.String, but if you pass another kind of data type, this will not be converted to a string even if there is a possible string representation, so you need to transform your datatype to a str the usual way is by doing str(YourData) so in our example, it will give us

txt = c4d.Vector()
pythonLogger = maxon.Loggers.Python()
pythonLogger.Write(maxon.TARGETAUDIENCE.ALL, str(txt), maxon.MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION(1), maxon.WRITEMETA.UI_SYNC_DRAW)

Cheers,

I am on R20.

Sorry, I should have spotted it earlier, this issue is solved in R21.

So, unfortunately, I don't have any workaround for you.

Ah! Okay. Thanks.
