I have been following this topic in all three (!) forums since beginning and I'm really looking forward to the outcome of this topic. I'd call myself quite a Matrix mutant, so just ignore me, if my question is completely off topic or bogus in this context. My expectation would have been the same as @Cairyn's. Yet, there has always been this last sentence on the Matrix fundamentals page, which reads pretty suspicious to me. [Local Matrix] = MatrixMove(op.GetFrozenPos()) * HPBToMatrix(op.GetFrozenRot()) * MatrixMove(op.GetRelPos()) * HPBToMatrix(op.GetRelRot()) * MatrixScale(op.GetFrozenScale) * MatrixScale(op.GetRelScale()) Please note that the both scales are applied at the very beginning, so the local matrix is not the same as [Frozen Matrix] * [Relative Matrix]. This is necessary in order to guarantee that your local matrix always stays a rectangular system; distorted sy I'm not questioning the correctness of this sentence. I'm just wondering if it may be related to this issue? And if one would maybe need to separate the scale from the equation and calculate it in correct order?

@zipit Hahahahaha! Thank you! I see my lines now. Who hoo!

@m_adam My apologies for not being clearer. I thought there was something wrong with how I was doing the Draw function. The issue was the TAG_IMPLEMENTS_DRAW_FUNCTION flag was missing. Thank you very much!

@m_magalhaes Remap did the trick! Thanks for the help, Manuel

@r_gigante Ahhhhhhhh, okay, I get it now. Thank you

@r_gigante Thank you!!

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed!

Hi @r_gigante, thank you for the reply! With regards to the DLG_TYPE_ASYNC, the GeDialog size has not always worked consistently for me. Is Cinema 4D storing information for when the Async GeDialogs have been resized? If so, is there a way to clear this preference? Thanks!

@m_adam Great idea! I'll use a Timer Thanks Maxime!

@m_adam That's a great solution, thank you!

@m_magalhaes said in Post Deformer Spline: Thanks, Manuel! This is what I was looking for!

@m_adam Hi Maxime, I did try your example and I saw it working as a gadget but, you're right, I want to communicate between two GeDialogs. I followed your advice on using CoreMessage and found success with SpecialEventAdd. Thank you!

For whatever reason, the default Text Object has no FontData in Text[c4d.PRIM_TEXT_FONT]. By creating a FontData instance, I was able to set the Font. import c4d def main(doc): textObject = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Osplinetext) doc.InsertObject(textObject) fontData = c4d.FontData() bc = c4d.BaseContainer() bc.SetString(500, 'Arial') bc.SetString(501, '11') bc.SetInt32(502, 400) bc.SetInt32(503, 0) bc.SetString(509, 'Arial') bc.SetString(508, 'ArialMT') fontData.SetFont(bc) textObject[c4d.PRIM_TEXT_FONT] = fontData textObject[c4d.ID_BASELIST_NAME] = bc[500] textObject[c4d.PRIM_TEXT_TEXT] = bc[500] c4d.EventAdd() if __name__=='__main__': main(doc)

@nophoto Very nice! Thank you

Hi @Eduardo-Oliveira first of all welcome on the PluginCafe community. I think @zipit already provided you some correct answers or at least point you that this workflow is kind of strange for a Cinema 4D user since normally the object by itself doesn't really set its own position, but it's up to a tag (constraint Tag) to define the object position to another one. But in case you really want to do it, doing it in the Execute method of your ObjectData is fine. def AddToExecution(self, op, list): list.Add(op, c4d.EXECUTIONPRIORITY_GENERATOR, c4d.EXECUTIONFLAGS_CACHEBUILDING) return True def Execute(self, op, doc, bt, priority, flags): op.SetMg(doc.GetFirstObject().GetMg()) return c4d.EXECUTIONRESULT_OK You also need to ensure you registered your object with the flag c4d.OBJECT_CALL_ADDEXECUTION so AddToExecution and Execute are called. Cheers, Maxime.

hi, back to the subject, i was tracking the bug and I discovered it was on my chair. After messing around too much about the code, I was doing something very wrong. when you register your scenehook what is the level ? (last parameter of RegisterSceneHookPlugin) Cheers, Manuel

@Cairyn Thanks again! That's what I was afraid of, but thanks for the information!

Yes, I must read the manuals more throroughly (RTFMS). Excuses: it is so much and I just wanted to compiler R20 in R21. But you are correct. BUT, adding iferr to the code worked, AND also solved the other issue. Everything is working now! Thanks!
