ah got it, thanks for the quick explanation!
so without super i would call SetFloat in an endless loop, because it returns itself.

hi there,

i have a command plugin that is dependent on the state of the active document. so i want to track if the document has changed.

there seems to be no dedicated core message. so i tried the following. but it gives me "basedocument is not alive", which makes senes in a way. but how can i make it work?

class MyDialog( ... 
   doc_old = None
   ...

   def CoreMessage(self, cid, msg):
        doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()
        if cid == c4d.EVMSG_CHANGE:
            if doc != self.doc_old:
                print ("doc changed")
                self.doc_old = doc

thanks,
sebastian

hi there,
i've built a python generator, where i use its cache unless some parameters are dirty. when close and reopen the scene, the cache is gone and has to be rebuild. in principal, is there (not too complicated) way to keep/save these caches inside the scene?
would this be possible with a python generator or a proper plugin?
i'm using python.

to be a bit more specific: by clicking a checkbox on the python generator, i do a cloth simulation in a temp doc. the result of the sim is convertet to polygons and returned by the python generator. the simulation is not super heavy, but it woud be nice if i could avoid the recalculation. so i'd like to store the point data in the scene/generator. i'd like to avoid external files too, if possible.

my code is a bit long at the moment, i would post a shorter version, if you say it should be possible ...
best, sebastian
