          block->verts _.y = point _.y;
          block->verts _.z = point _.z;

}

...

}</CODE>

Is this correct? it's seems to be wrong because the "obj->GetTagDataCount(Tpoint)" and "obj->GetTagDataCount(Tpolygon)" are returning 0 values, in scenes that have a cube object (i'm completely c4d noob too, i got c4d just for coding).

obs.: the "BaseObject" parameter of "objectsChunk *_FormatSave::getObjData(BaseObject *obj)" method is receiving data from the following call (modified for obvious reasons) :

<CODE>getObjData( BaseDocumentInst->GetFirstObject() );</CODE>

I started learning/coding c4d today and got some progress. I'm building this plugin to export/import my own data format and thus use it to load from my game engine.

And one more thing, there is a easy way to debug my plugin project, like using printf()?

Thanks in advance.

i made some mistakes

block->verts.x = point.x;
block->verts.y = point.y;
block->verts.z = point.z;

should be:

block->verts _.x = point _.x;
block- >verts _.y = point _.y;
block- >verts _.z = point _.z;

and the language is C++

solved the problem

i was using a Cube Object, not a Polygon Object (oh god \o/)

and downloaded the Cinema 4D R8 SDK Help and discovered the GePrint() method from c4d_gerenal
