I find meself in a predicament. My plugin uses 'goal' null objects for IK. There is a tag that allows the existing IK chains to be enabled or disabled. I'd like to have the null objects change display by whether enabled or disabled. This means that the enabled display properties for the null need to be stored so that when reenabled they are restored to their 'enabled' state. Disabled display will be the same.My question is this: Could UserData be used for such a purpose on the null object? And possibly how?
Thanks,

Hmmmm. Well, using a tag on the null object is an option. Just hate adding more plugins for every little necessity.
Thanks,

Howdy,
Couldn't you use base containers in your IK tag to store the display type of the Null object?
Adios,

That's what I did as noted in the second post. (?)
But I used an existing but unused IK tag now placed on the Null object.The tag that allows the existing IK chains to be enabled or disabled is the Figure tag - and it covers much more than IK - everything (visibility, symmetry, conforming, proxies, posing, etc.). That tag is already heftily weighed down - it doesn't need to 'dynamically' track the IK Null object display settings.
