After a few mails with Ferdinand I switched to a Tag plugin solution. This does the job perfectly.
So the solution was not to use an Object data solution but a TagData.

Thanx!

Hi,

In short I build a plugin that's the same as the tiling camera in de C4D Lib. However the plugin does not update when it is not selected. Same thing when I render. How can I update / execute the plugin on every frame or change in the viewport like an xpresso tag for example.

Below a small part of the code. The tiling camera is just 1 function of many.

class RAARCGEN(plugins.ObjectData):
    if licenpass:
        include ('id')
        include ('reninit')
        include('iconchange')
        include('initvar')
        include('finalrender')
        #include('proxy')
        hashpass=False
        def __init__(self):
            self.SetOptimizeCache(True)
        def Message(self, node, type, data):
            data = node.GetDataInstance()
            #for name in searchNames(type):
            #    print type, name
            global doc
            doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()      
            if type==c4d.MSG_MENUPREPARE:
                InitVariables(doc,data)
            elif type==1036465: #trigger for placing object in the include/exclude field
                RelisInExc(doc, data)
            elif type==1036464: #trigger for removing object in the include/exclude field
                RelisInExc(doc, data)
            #elif type==431000094 or type==c4d.MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND:
               #updatemodule(node,self)
            return True
        
        def Init(self, node):
            print ("test")
            return True
        
        def GetDEnabling(self, node, id, t_data, flags, itemdesc):
            data = node.GetDataInstance()
            if data is None: return
            ID = id[0].id
            updatemodule(node,self)
            #if (ID==FR_MAN):
            #    updatemodule(node,self)

                            newLayer = checkLayer
                            newLayer.Remove()
                        checkLayer = checkLayer.GetNext()

Many thanx in advance
