Hi,

I have read allot about adding ports to expresso nodes i got it working on my python node.
But my object nodes don't get te added object port. I found some other people having problems with this but didn't find a solution there only stuff for userdata i'm not using any userdata. I'm stuck here : c4d.GV_OBJECT_OPERATOR_OBJECT_IN

targetObjectNode = nodes.CreateNode(nodes.GetRoot(), c4d.ID_OPERATOR_OBJECT , None, 5, 50)
targetObjectNode[c4d.GV_OBJECT_OBJECT_ID] = targetData
targetObjectNodeOutput = targetObjectNode.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_OUTPUT,c4d.GV_OBJECT_OPERATOR_OBJECT_IN) #Object output port

If somebody can explain me what i'm doing wrong much appreciated

The object port is broken in python. To bypass this create an object link in the objects user data add the object to that data and create a port for the link.

This is really annoying and wish it would get fixed. Bypassing creates a lot of unnecessary extra code.

Thanks, work around is working.

im trying to change the names of these ports

pythonNodeInput1 = pythonNode.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_INPUT,c4d.IN_LINK)  
pythonNodeInput2 = pythonNode.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_INPUT,c4d.IN_LINK)
pythonNodeInput1.SetName("test")
pythonNodeInput2.SetName("test2")

both ports are named link now. Is it possible to rename a port?
In documentation i found SetName() but that changes the name of node not the port.

what im i doing wrong hehe
