Just tinkering - I know this isnt correct - but any feedback appreciated

Trying to get a random sort mograph clones
by shuffling the clone array

I can randomise or reverse on a particular frame
but not keep the randomisation

if (frame >= 70) : random.shuffle(marr)
constantly shuffles - not wanted

if (frame == 70) : random.shuffle(marr)
shuffles on that one frame then resets to original order on 71 - not wanted

any ideas

import c4d
from c4d.modules import  mograph as mo
import  math, random
#Welcome to the world of Python
  
def main() :
    md = mo.GeGetMoData(op)
    if md==None: return False
    
    cnt = md.GetCount()
    marr = md.GetArray(c4d.MODATA_MATRIX)
    fall = md.GetFalloffs()
  
    #marr.reverse() #just reverse
    #marr.append(marr.pop(0))    #another reverse
  
    
    frame = doc.GetTime().GetFrame(doc.GetFps()) 
  
    if (frame >= 70) :  random.shuffle(marr) 
    for i in reversed(xrange(0, cnt)) :
        marr _.off = marr _.off__
 _ _        #if (i == 4) :  marr.reverse() # experimen__
 _ _    md.SetArray(c4d.MODATA_MATRIX, marr, True)__
 _ _    return True__

Brilliant - thanks douwe

changed third to last line

marr (square bracket)i (square bracket).off _ = marr ._ (square bracket) _ i_ (square bracket).off

Ye, bad things happen when one forgets to use the correct BBcode. fixed.

Glad to help you out,
although it feels like cheating every time i resort to the NameError trick.

Yup same post as you spotted douwe

I started with the thought about shuffling the array - but then I got stuck on the code

Will post the whole thing back there included scene file (as we can't do that here)

The only issue I've found (I guess its to do with the global setting) if you change clone numbers or setup then you have to recompile

Anyone have any suggestions of how to get over having to reset the effector,

every time the clone count and or type gets changed?
