<![CDATA[Console output: Description::SetPDescription param(-1) is invalid?]]>Hello,
my third post this morning 😄

In the latest C4D 2024, I frequently see this in the Visual Studio debug console:

Description::SetPDescription param(-1) is invalid

This message is definitely not sent from my code. And having searched all API code and the SDK docs, I can find no trace of anything called SetPDescription. And I don't think I'm ever passing a description ID of -1 anywhere. What is it trying to tell me?

Cheers,
Frank

// DebugStop removed, happens all the time when creating nimbus material (no redshift plugin).

You can ignore it, since the -1 correspond to the id of the basecontainer of the description, so nothing you have the control of.

Cheers,
Maxime.
