Se if doing the init on the DataInstance helps.
(What I do in an object plugin of mine.)

  
class Opolylight(plugins.ObjectData) :   
        
     def Init(self, op) :   
          data = op.GetDataInstance()   
          data.SetVector(c4d.LIGHT_COLOR,c4d.Vector(1.0,1.0,1.0)   
          data.SetFloat(c4d.LIGHT_BRIGHTNESS,1.0)

          etc…

hi,

thank for your reply, the console still returns:

> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SEENBYBYCAMERA'

for :

	def Init(self, op) :
		data = op.GetDataInstance()
  
		data.SetVector(c4d.LIGHT_COLOR,c4d.Vector(1.0,1.0,1.0))
		data.SetReal(c4d.LIGHT_BRIGHTNESS,1.0)
		data.SetLong(c4d.LIGHT_TYPE,1)
		data.SetLong(c4d.EMITDIRECTION,2)
		data.SetLong(c4d.SAMPLINGMODE,2)
		data.SetLong(c4d.MAXIMUMSAMPLES,128)
		data.SetReal(c4d.ACCURACY,0.65)
		data.SetBool(c4d.ACCURATECOLOR, True)
		data.SetBool(c4d.ISAREALIGHT, True)
		data.SetBool(c4d.SEENBYGI, True)
		data.SetBool(c4d.SEENBYBYCAMERA, True)
		data.SetBool(c4d.SEENBYBYREFLECTIONS, True)
		data.SetBool(c4d.SEENBYBYREFRACTIONS, True)
		data.SetLong(c4d.DISPLAYMODE,2)
		return True

gnahgnahgnah ...

edit : it is in this semi-working state like it is when i remove :

	op[c4d.SEENBYBYREFLECTIONS] = True

	op[c4d.SEENBYBYREFRACTIONS] = True

1-4 correct, 5-7 wrong, 8-9 correct, 10-11 wrong, 12 correct, 13-14 wrong ... oO

not sure what you want to say ? SEENBYCAMERA like the boolean in the compositing tag.

weeh,

its far too late for me however, after correcting the typo the console returns :

_ AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SEENBYREFLECTIONS' _
_
_
the funny thing is, c4d.SEENBYREFLECTIONS is true and its checkbox is checked. if there is a god, its a cruel one

Perhaps you are having trouble because you changed your descriptions. But didn't delete your coffeesymbolcache file?

That one tends to burn everyone at least once.

To me,

  
    self.InitAttr(op, bool, [c4d.SEENBYBYREFLECTIONS])   
    self.InitAttr(op, bool, [c4d.SEENBYBYREFRACTIONS])

looks spelt wrong "..BYBY.." but also as Scott mentioned,
the coffesymbolcache file might need to be deleted for
Cinema to update it.

You didn't specify Mac or PC. Or what version you're using.
There are a great many differences between R12 & R13. So please always provide that info in your posts.

BTW: I don't know if you know this or not. But the file link you posted says I need special permission from you to download it. That's not going to get you a lot of help either.

Lol.

That stupid cache file thing is sort of a rite of passage that all python plugin newbies have to go through.
It's sort of like a fraternity hazing...Everyone has to go through it at least once to be in the club.
