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 invalidThis 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-1anywhere. What is it trying to tell me?Cheers,

Hi in our code base there is this comment just above this diagnostic output (so only visible in debug)
// 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. -
Ok, thanks!
