Hi all,
I was wondering what is the recommended way of transferring a variable from a function to another function in python.
In this case I'm using the python generator, and I'd like to transfer a spline object from the main function into the message function to be accessible by a button. I tried using global variables but I get the message:
"ReferenceError: the object 'c4d.SplineObject' is not alive"
Thanks for any insights
hi,
there's no real "good practice" and your workflow isn't clear to give you an answer.
It sound normal that when your object is created in the main function, it's not alive in the function you call when pressing the button. The references is passed but the c++ object the reference is pointing to is not alive anymore.
If for example you want your generator to return a cube and add that cube in the scene when you click on a button you should have:
But without knowing what the button should do we can't help more.
Cheers, Manuel
Thanks Manuel, yes that's how I ended up doing it in the end.
I thought it would've been simpler to extract a variable from the main function, since it had already calculated. All I would need is to save the variable somewhere where the button function can read it, so this is where I tried the global variables but it didn't work.
