Is it possible to set visibility keyframes with a script with C.O.F.F.E.E.? If so, how?

Littledevil already told you on cgsociety : Use the search function. Either on cgsociety/here/google or look into the documentation.

Thanks Niklas. My last checkin at CGTalk turned up nothing, and the forum looked so unused that I gave up on it. I'll be more diligent with it in the future.
By the way, here was my reply to "Yes, it is. Use the search fuction":
This is in the C.O.F.F.E.E. SDK help file:
Note: Currently it is not possible to allocate tracks, curves or keys in C.O.F.F.E.E.So, yes, I did use the search and this is what I came up with and needed confirmation that it was impossible to create a keyframe in with a C.O.F.F.E.E. script in C4D.
Any suggestions?

You should've told us about what you say in the latter statement before, because that changes your position in our eyes. (Dunno if that makes sense in english, lol?)
So, here you have it. It is not possible to allocate tracks, curves and keys with COFFEE, you can only modify them.
My suggestions: Learn a better scripting-language: Python. It's easy, has a nice Syntax, it is extensible with libraries and it supports more features of the C4D API than COFFEE.
Cheers,

The only source I know of for Coffee timeline stuff is my own CoffeeBible.
There's a link to download it at the top of the web page:https://sites.google.com/site/scottayersmedia/scriptingAs Niklas has pointed out. You can't create keys and tracks with Coffee. But you can create them using the create keys button. Then go in and do some manipulation of them afterwords with Coffee.
But Python is a much, much better way to go.
If you're stuck with Coffee and have no other choice. Then download that CoffeeBible.pdf.-ScottA

Thanks a lot guys. I'm getting started with Python now, starting with video's by Michael Auerswald on vimeo, and the SDK docs.

I'd also suggest you to do some none-cinema 4d stuff. IMHO the best place to start is the official Python tutorial. After you've understanded some principles of Python and it's Syntax, you'll be able to write scripts for Cinema 4D, too.
