Hi @blastframe, thank you for reaching out to us and for reporting these errors in the documentation. We will fix both the erroneously attributed short description of AddKey as well as the code example in an upcoming update of the C4D SDK Python docs. Cheers and happy coding, Ferdinand

Hi, @m_adam, thanks for the effort. I suspected it will not be possible without a custom GUI/data implementation - I guess I will go with this approach. Cheers, Deyan

@PluginStudent Thank you so much! It worked! Yaroslav.

@blastframe said in Request: Combobox Icons: @zipit "it would be impossible for a developer to know otherwise from just the documentation." Hi @blastframe, I was just a bit cheeky ;) The C++ GeDialog Manual shows how to embed an icon via its address (which works similarly), but is not a replacement for the Python docs and explaining it properly in one place. So no worries, I agree with you that this should be improved upon. Cheers, Ferdinand

Hi @Hugo-BATTISTELLA, regarding your screenshot, "it does not work" is usually not a very good starting point to pin point for us what is going wrong, and so I also do struggle here a bit with what you do mean by that. Because when I run/inspect that passage on R21.207, it works as I would expect it to work. So I would have to ask you to please clarify what you do mean by "not working". # Addding a Motion Graphics Data node. mo_donnee = master.CreateNode(master.GetRoot(),1019010,None,250,100) mo_donnee_out = mo_donnee.GetOutPorts() mo_donnee_out = mo_donnee_out[0] if mo_donnee_out else None # The name of the first out port is: Count print (mo_donnee_out.GetName(mo_donnee)) Will print: Count Regarding the addition of ports, I see three .AddPort calls in your code and the resulting nodes will contain these ports in R21.207 as shown in your screenshot in the previous posting. So I am also confused about what you mean by "I still can't create ports on nodes" and would have to ask you to also clarify this. Our forum guide has also section on how to ask "good" questions, the "Structure of a Question: Detailed Description" section might be useful for you. You should line out what you do expect to happen and what happens instead. So I cannot really say anything helpful for now, sorry, Ferdinand

@zipit Thank you for the information.

All right, thank you for all the help. I'll close this now.

hi, sorry, but with the classic API it's not possible. Cheers, Manuel

@r_gigante Thanks for the response, that's what I thought the case would be. John Thomas

Thanks for the effort Maxime (and rendering department). I suspected that it won't be possible, but still asked because I thought I might have missed something. Cheers, Deyan

Hi @WickedP, Secondly, I can't seem to mark any topics of mine as solved. Has this changed? that is because you haven't set your topic as "ask-as-question" in the first place ;) So there is nothing to resolve here. Cheers, Ferdinand

Glad you found a way and yes I think it's safe now :) I guess there is no more open pint? If so I let you define your topic as solved (see Forum Structure and Features - Ask as Question If you don't know how to do it). Just in case a BaseContainer can also store a BaseContainer. so you could store your own BaseContainer at the ID_PLUGIN And in this BaseContainer at ID 0 stores, the obj counts, and then you can safely iterate over it. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi Manuel, what you say rings a bell. I was sure it was because the vector hadn't allocated anything yet. Global possibly wasn't the best way admittedly, it just started like that for convenience. But it ended up being a bit complex, there's a lot of things accessing it, so I didn't want to change it (for now). @m_magalhaes said in Setting up global plugin structs: create a pointer and in pluginstart and pluginend take care of assign memory and free it hadn't thought of that. Seems to work - I'll go with that! Thanks WP.

Works like a charm! It's much more flexible than I hoped;) Thanks a lot!

@ECHekman said in Compiling material nodegraph to shaders: I take it this also means its not possible to manually convert node ourselves? Right.

@m_adam Thanks for the clarification. Regards, Georgi.

@m_adam Yay thank you very much! Was almost ready to compromise with the default color. Will use the Q&A functionality, excuse me for the posts so far. Warm regards, Georgi.

@m_magalhaes Thanks Manuel! When I fill-in only Inner edges in NgonBase::BuildNgon, then it surprisingly works ;) I don't know why I tested all combinations except this one :) There are still some minor glitches, some inner edges are randomly not hidden, but ngons created are valid for all the cases I have tested. Random glitches are easily fixable with forcing all inner edges to be hidden. I will test it more, but this seems to be reliable for now. NGONS import - read outer edges directly from Pgon::*m_Edge array NGONS export - with NgonBase::BuildNgon(), filling Inner edges only, and force hide inner edges on quads. Thanks a lot Manuel, Your help has been very valuable to me. Regards, Viktor.
