I am having trouble with my res file. I am trying to add properties to my plugin object, like the Oatam example:

  
CONTAINER Oatom  
{  
     NAME Oatom;  
     INCLUDE Obase;  
  
     GROUP ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES  
     {  
          REAL ATOMOBJECT_CRAD { UNIT METER; MIN 0.01; STEP 0.01; }  
          REAL ATOMOBJECT_SRAD { UNIT METER; MIN 0.01; STEP 0.01; }  
          LONG ATOMOBJECT_SUB     { MIN 3; MAX 1000; }  
          BOOL ATOMOBJECT_SINGLE     { }  
     }  
}  

my res file is as follows:

  
CONTAINER CloneOmatic  
{  
     NAME CloneOmatic;  
     INCLUDE CloneOmatic;  
  
  
     String CLONEOMATIC_POINTS { }  
     String CLONEOMATIC_MASTER { }  
  
}  

When I run the plugin C4D crashes out to windows.

Is there documentation on res file syntax?

thanks

Well, yeah. The correct doc names for strings are:

STRING (creates an EditText box)
STATICTEXT (creates a StaticText)

Case is IMPORTANT!

Also, what's with the INCLUDE CloneOmatic? Include is for parent node types, not for the type being defined. For instance:

NAME MyPluginObject;
INCLUDE Obase;

will include the Res description file for Obase. In your case, you may end up in an infinite loop including your Res file back into your Res file.

Yes, do a search in the SDK documentation for "Description Resource" or go to the Contents for the same.

Thanks, that cleared it up for me. I didn't realize it was called a "Description" resource.

Thanks again
