Hey!

I'm trying to figure out the class ID for the AlignToSpline tag. Some of the other Tags have the ID stored as a constant (e.g. TextureTag), that you can check with the instanceof() procedure.
Would be really nice if someone could point me in the right direction.

Cheers,
Sparkle

Is this what you're looking for?

var obj = doc->GetFirstObject();
//var t = AllocTag(Taligntospline); //Create the ATS tag using the text based ID
var t = AllocTag(5699); //Create the ATS tag using the numeric ID
obj->InsertTag(t);

Unfortunately that's not really helpful in my case. I want to detect if an object has an allign to spline tag attached and not attach a new one.

The code I came up with so far is this:

var ATag = Obj->GetFirstTag();
while (ATag && !instanceof(ATag,XXXTag)) {
ATag=ATag->GetNext();
}

XXXTag would have to be replaced with the proper name of the constant that describes the class id of the Align to Spline tag.
Unfortunately getclass() only returns "BaseTag" which seems to be a broader group of C4D tags.
I hope this is a little clearer than my initial jibberish

BaseList2D::GetType() returns the type ID (plugin ID) of objects, tags, materials etc.

Example:

  
var ATag = Obj->GetFirstTag();  
  
while (ATag)  
{  
  if (ATag->GetType() == Taligntospline)  
  {  
      // the tag is an Align To Spline tag  
      // do something  
  }  
    
  ATag = ATag->GetNext();  
}

cheers,
