I created an object plugin and when I use the "Reset to Default" command to one of its parameters in the attributes manager the value will always be set to "0" instead of the value I defined in the objects init function.

So where or how do I have to define preset values so that they will be recognized and used at a "Reset to Default"?

Maybe check for that?

Okay, I guess this problem could be the downside of using SetParameter as recommended by Matthias Bober instead of the GetDataInstance method.

I think this way you maybe just alter a parameter value but don't set it as it's default value which remain unaffected by SetParameter, right?

Edit:
Or maybe I'm wrong!

I now tried accessing the BaseContainer with GetDataInstance to set my base values but it didn't work either.

When I right click the parameter in the attributes manager and choose "Reset to Default" it is set to zero again.

And to countercheck I tried it with the spherify deformer example from the SDK with both methods and it worked in both cases as it should!?

I'm still confused.

Hi Lennart,

thanks for the hint, I checked it but it doesn't seems to be the problem here.

Kind regards,
Tom

Have you set default values in the overridden ObjectData::Init method?

Yes

Edit:
Okay, I finaly hunted it down.
I used the same (in this case not so unique) ID for my SNHookClass as for my ObjectData class in this concerned project.

Oddly enough that worked so far, apart from the reset to default problem.
