i want to save the position of many objects animated by an dynamic tag to calculate the velocity per frame for it
script tag is set to frame depending

Hello,
as Nikals said, can you specify your question?
What exactly do you mean with "script tag"? I guess you mean a Python Tag? If you want to store data consistently across time you could store data for example in the BaseContainer of the tag itself.
Best wishes,

it seems to work fine but the previous and current frame data are still the same

I think you need to store the *positions* in the old and new arrays, not the objects : ) For example, instead of poly_arr_new.append(poly) you might have pos_array_new.append(poly.GetMg().off).
