      Is there a way to implement a ToolTip for a Pythonscript?

      Something like: help = "The text shown at the bottom of C4D"
      You can do this with Plugins and with Coffee-Scripts. But I have not found out that for Pythonscripts.

        Hello Holger,

        I'm afraid this is not possible with a Python script.
        You could of course create a Python CommandData plugin, but this is probably more work than you will want to spend, only to have a tooltip.

          Hi Andreas. I have found a way to implement Tooltip in Pythonscripts. Thats cool. It should be documented in the SDK.

          If you add this to the script it will have a tooltip:

          """
          Name-US: HB_CoolScript
          Description-US: This is a cool Script
            
          """

            More than documented, it should be part of the standard script template.

                😂 hehe...well that was luck. I found a Script in my collection and it had a Tooltip. It took me a while that I figured out that the tooltip was coded in the beginning of the Script. I think it was a Script of Bret Bays. So you might ask him where he knows this from 😉
