The code below worked in my plugin when I was using DOCUMENT_CHANGED, but it was continually being called even when I wasn't changing anything in my scene. Why? Then I tried ACTIVE_OBJECT_CHANGED and that doesn't do anything, is this still a flag?

    
    
    MyDialog::CoreMessage(id,msg)  
    {  
     switch (id)  
     {  
      case ACTIVE_OBJECT_CHANGED:  
      //case DOCUMENT_CHANGED:  
       println("ACT OBJECTIVELY");  
       pPoints->MovePoints();  
       break;  
     }  
    }

OK I got it to work by using DOCUMENT_CHANGED and then in my function I commented out EventAdd(). I don't know why I had to do this but I guess the EventAdd() was sending a message to my CoreMessage DOCUMENT_CHANGED which sent a message back to the function with EventAdd() and so an endless loop. But anyway this works well now....

    
    
    MyDialog::CoreMessage(id,msg)  
    {  
     switch (id)  
     {  
      //case ACTIVE_OBJECT_CHANGED:  
      case DOCUMENT_CHANGED:  
      //case NEW_ACTIVE_OBJECT:  
      {  
       println("ACT OBJECTIVELY");  
       pPoints->MovePoints();  
       break;  
      }  
     }  
    }
    
    
    
    
    PointTonull::MovePoints()  
    {  
     pDoc=GetActiveDocument();  
     nObj=pDoc->GetActiveObject();  
     nName=nObj->GetName();  
     len=sizeof(nName);  
     sName=strmid(nName,0,len-2);  
     println(sName);  
     println(nName);  
     println(strmid(nName,len-1,len-1));  
     println("X",x);  
     for(i=0;i<20;i++)  
     {  
       if(sName==lSplines[i])  
       {  
         x=1;  
       }  
     }  
     println("X",x);  
     if(x==0){return;}  
     //else  
     spObj=pDoc->FindObject("TTC");  
     //println(nName[len-1]);  
     inde=strmid(nName,len-1,len-1);  
     iObj=spObj->GetMg();  
     iObj->Invert();  
     println(spObj);  
     spObj->SetPoint(evaluate(inde),iObj->GetMulP(nObj->GetPosition()));  
     spObj->Message(MSG_UPDATE);  
     //EventAdd();  
     x=0;

Anew problem with the above code. My scene doesn't change until the payhead is stopped...and because of this when renderred no movement takes place.

Hey Matthias. This thread is related to the other thread. You guys answered the problem in that thread. Thanks. Anyway this part of this plugin is just using nulls to control some of the points on some splines.
