--------- Hi,
here is my _very_ last question about descriptions.
In GetDDescription I add a parameter via
BaseContainer bc = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(DTYPE_REAL); bc.SetBool(DESC_ANIMATE, DESC_ANIMATE_ON); bc.SetString(DESC_SHORT_NAME, "foobar"); bc.SetReal(DESC_MIN, 3.0f); bc.SetReal(DESC_MAX, 15.0f); bc.SetReal(DESC_STEP, 1.0f); if(! description->SetParameter(DescLevel(15000, DTYPE_REAL, ID_OF_MY_PLUGIN), bc, DescLevel(ID_OF_MY_PARAM_GROUP))) return FALSE; flags |= DESCFLAGS_DESC_LOADED; return MaterialData::GetDDescription(node, description, flags);
But the parameter cannot be animated: The animation pop-up menu opens on right mouse click, and "Add Keyframe" can be selected---but nothing happens: no red dot in front of the parameter name, no animation.
Thanks for any ideas.
Regards, jl

Hi, hmm, seems all correct. Shouldn´t make any difference but try to set bc.SetLong(DESC_ANIMATE, DESC_ANIMATE_ON); instead of SetBool (though this really shouldn´t matter. But hey, you´ll never know Otherwise I don´t know to be honest.

Hi,
I found out that my problem is elsewhere. If one sets a keyframe in the context menu, GetDDescription is called in such a way that bc == NULL in the following situation, although the parameter "is there":
AutoAlloc<AtomArray> ar; if (!ar) return false; BaseContainer* bc = description->GetParameterI(DescLevel(FX_TECHNIQUE), ar);
My code judged bc == NULL as an error condition.
