Vertex Map Tag not in sync error

danniccs

Hello,

I am running the following code to create a vertex map tag on an object (targetObject is a sphere BaseObject every time I call the function):

# Make object editable
res = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(
		command = c4d.MCOMMAND_MAKEEDITABLE,
		list = [targetObject],
		mode = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
		doc = doc )

if res is False or res is True:
	raise TypeError()
elif isinstance( res, list ):
	doc.InsertObject( res[0] )

vertexMapTag = res[0].GetTag( c4d.Tvertexmap )
if vertexMapTag is None:
	vertexMapTag = c4d.BaseTag( c4d.Tvertexmap )
	vertexMapTag[c4d.ID_TAGFIELD_ENABLE] = True
	vertexMapTag[c4d.ID_TAGFIELD_INVERT] = False
	vertexMapTag[c4d.ID_TAGFIELD_DEFORMED] = False
	res[0].InsertTag( vertexMapTag )
c4d.EventAdd()

After running this I get a sphere with a UVW tag and a vertex map tag, as intended. However, when I select the sphere and select the paint tool, I get the following error:

What is causing the tag to not be in sync?

Thank you for your help,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Please excuse the delayed answer.

You're not supposed to create tags via constructor. It's expected to be created using MakeVariableTag() function instead. Please have a look at Ferdinand's example here: Negative Vertex Map values

Hi Ilia,

Thank you very much, I was not aware of that!

Cheers!
