I'm able to create other tags on my object but when I try to call the mograph cache tag I get:
""module" object has no attribute 'Tmograph_cache'"
I'm calling it onto either a cloner or matrix object in a python node in xpresso with object.MakeTag(c4d.Tmograph_cache)
any help?

I also could not find the correct Tag id, but using GetTags(), I found that the following inserts a Mograph Cache Tag: obj.MakeTag(1019337)

import c4d
from c4d import gui
  
def main() :
    obj = doc.GetActiveObject()
    obj.MakeTag(1019337)
    
    print obj.GetTags()
    c4d.EventAdd()
    print obj
  
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

Using the ID worked great Pim, Thanks! The only other issue i'm running into is that you can't seem to call a button from a python node in xpresso. I'm sort of getting that it isn't even possible, is that true?

In this case use the callcommand to "call" a button
You can find the correct id in mograph_cache.h file or on this great website: http://c4dconnect.com/Description/Node?containerName=Tmograph_cache
See also the examples.

obj = doc.SearchObject("C\_<\_o:\_<\_o:p\_>\_


tag = obj\_<\_o:\_<\_o:p\_>\_stTag()


c4d.CallButton(tag,c4d.MGC\_<\_o:\_<\_o:p\_>\__BAKESEQUENCE)


c4d.CallButton(tag,c4d.MGCACHETAG_CLEARCACHE)\_le="font-size: 5pt;">

yep this is what i used, but inside a python node in xpresso it gives you an "Illegal operation. Invalid cross-thread call." error. Which makes me think you cant call buttons inside a python node.

Sorry, I forgot you are using xpresso.
Indeed this is not possible in xpresso.

You better switch to python plugins(?).

Unfortunately plugin not an option for the tool I'm making. The mograph cache was just going to be a nice addition inside the setup, but definitely not necessary. Thanks for all the help though!
