  @s_bach i see. thx, nevertheless. well, as said, the only way to avoid that collision seems to be: put the plugins into the plugin-folder of the main application. while discussing the other part of my problem (see symbolcache-topic) on other forums (the german c4dnetwork, that is), it became apparent, that other ppl also do have those collision-messages with r20 - and they, too, do not experience those plugins to be not working. if at any time this "problem" should become of interest for you, let me know, if there's something that i could do/deliver/add any detail, to support you in your efforts. cheers, mesut.

  Hi, indeed SaveDocument() does save the document, only. Your approach of simulating "save as" functionality is fine. If you can live with a requester, you could also use SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_SAVEAS instead. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you to please open separate threads for such unrelated questions. We do not regard this as spamming, but regard it helpful for future users searching for certain information. Such questions would go into the Cinema 4D Development category. Also please consider using code tags. I have changed this in your previous post. Cheers, Andreas

  Hi @cmpxchg8b and @a_block , I don't know much about matrix, but here is what I found. If the point with arrow should rotate to aim, then all the possible position of the point must lay on the sphere surface which sphere's center is the parent object. And one point and a vector can form a line in space. So the question becomes a line-sphere intersection problem. After solving the equations, we can get 2 points: original point and transformed point(s). After that, we can find the transform matrix between 2 points.

  Hi Axel, welcome in our small developer forum. Unfortunately, it's not the right place to discuss issues with MAXON Labs plugins. This forum is really focused on discussing development related topics with 3rd party developers. The comment you posted on MAXON Labs directly already was the right approach. The thing with MAXON Labs is, that these are all side projects of our developers, often done in spare time. As the page states, MAXON does not promise any support or future maintenance. With that said, usually our developers provide support nevertheless, just because the want these projects top work ok. But then it also heavily depends on their current workload. I made the developer aware of the issue and it can be reproduced (which is always the first step to a fix), but I can't make any promises when he might find the time to look into it. Cheers, Andreas

  Hello, you might have to add the pyp file path to the system path using: sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__)) so import sys import os sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__)) import hello_function best wishes, Sebastian

  Hello, in Cinema 4D R20 the environment variable C4D_PLUGINS_DIR has been removed. It has been replaced with g_additionalModulePath. You can use this command also as a command line argument. See Environment Variables. Please notice that you can mark your post also as a question. See Q&A New Functionality. best wishes, Sebastian

  Hello, Set Driven Keys is just some workflow to create an Xpresso setup connecting two parameters. This has nothing to do with scripting or CallCommand(). Can you maybe explain somehow differently what you want to achieve? best wishes, Sebastian

  Hi! You could go for CTracks via Python. You'd have to get the track for a position parameter, for example, or create one, then get curve, then add keys. Later, you could simply range map it back to your Xpresso rig. it It's definitely doable!
