Hi all,

when my plug-in walks through the tree of objects and tags and materials and whatever in a scene: How can it find out which of them are its own?

Can it ask an object, tag, etc. for the ID of the plug-in which created it?

Or do I have to add some sort of magic cookie via SetCustomData?

There is no virtual function which I may override in a plug-in to that end?!

So I really have to rely on dynamic_cast?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Joern Loviscach

use GetType() and check for your plugin id...

Alseo note that RTTI, required for dynamic_cast, is disabled by default in the SDK. And even if you enable it, you can't use it on C4D objects since they a) aren't compiled with that option and b) don't have any virtual functions, which is needed for RTTI. (There are probably other reasons, like DLL boundaries, but I think you get the point... :-)
