Hi,is there a way to prevent the user to attach my tag plugin to a "wrong" object? I want the tag to be attached to a specific object type only.
Thanks,

After thinking a bit about, I think, it's quite user-unfriendly to just delete things, he made. The best way would be, to enable/disable the tag plugin entry in the tags menu according to the currently selected object.
By now, I just disable all parameters and maybe I will display a message or s.th..
Thanks,

Howdy,
The simplest solution would be to hide the tag from the menu and create a CommandData plugin that adds the tag, so that the user can only add the tag through the command. This way the command can check for the proper object type and give the user an alert if the object is the wrong type of object.
Adios,

How can I hide the tag plugin from the tags menu?
Since the tag target is my object plugin, I can add a button for attaching the tag. Can my object plugin check, whether the tag plugin is available? Both are independent plugins. So I would need a method to check whether the tag plugin is installed in order to disable the button if not. -

Howdy,
Set the PLUGINFLAG_HIDEPLUGINMENU flag when registering the tag plugin.
To check for it, you can use the FindPlugin() function, but that function can be slow, so it may be good to only use that once (for example in the PluginStart() function after all the parts have been loaded) to set a flag somewhere in your plugin that could be checked more quickly from within another function.
Adios,

Thanks for FindPlugin()!
I certainly tried PLUGINFLAG_HIDEPLUGINMENU, but the tag is still visible in the TAGMENU. I assume, the flag only works with the plugin menu (as the name suggests)?

btw.: did you know, that you can add an independent tag plugin to a tag collection of another plugin just by copying the whole plugin folder into the folder of another plugin? I didn't expect that it could work, but it does (tested with R12 on win7 only).

tag1.cdl

yep. You can also put all into one parent folder to have plugins in the submenu name of the paren folder. That works ever since even in coffee.

I know that, but I was surprized, that it even works with "chaotic" hierachies. This enables me to make my tag as an extension for my object that can be installed into the object plugin folder (I provide my plugins with installers).
