I have a custom data type, I can read and write it fine to a hyper file, but I don't know how to read and write the data if it is animated.so what I want to know is:
1- detect the animated description "loop over its keys"
2- read these keys.
3- write these keys back. -

Hi Mohamed,
CustomDataType plugins do not need to worry about animation as this is handled by CKey class.

this means the keyframes will automatically get loaded/saved similar to my CustomDataType?

Yes, if you overload CustomDataTypeClass::InterpolateKeys method and implement it as expected.

aha, so the data is saved/loaded no matter what, I see from documentation ::InterpolateKeys is just for mixing between keys, which is not the problem right now "I'm just aware of saving all data at different key frames and load them, from what you say and what I understand, it means there is no additional work needed for this, please correct me about this point"
about my CustomDataType, it is totally dynamic "vector of GeData, dynamic descriptions".
in this thread, https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/8706/11403_huge-problem-with-getddescription-solved , there is a portion of how the description is created. -

Ah yes, if it's just about reading/writing data you're fine without InterpolateKeys().

thanks Yannick for the info, everything went fine and keyframes got saved automatically as you mentioned
, you can mark this as solved.
