Hello everybody,
I have an expression-coffetag and a align to spline-tag on a null-object. The coffeexpressiontag calulates the percentage-value of the align-to-spline-tags' position. In my editor view, everything seems fine, any step of the sequencer causes my figure to move on the spline correctely.But when I render, the figure does not move anymore. I am sorry if this is a silly question, but I could not figure out, what I made wrong. All switches for calulcation of the expressions in my editor are active and I cannot find something in my rendersettings that may stop the execution of my coffeexpressiontag. I am sure it is not a big problem but I seem to be too silly to figure it out myself. So I would be grateful for any hint.
Thanks in advance,
Ebiwahnkenobi

Hello everybody,
seems to be a more general problem. I tried to replace the coffeetag against Xpresso, and it is the same matter.The object moves along the spline in the dirot correctely and does not move at all during rendering.
When I create a paramtertrack for the tack and set keys, the animation is rendered. But if I use any kind of expression it seems not to be able to change the position parameter of the tag during the rendering. If I did nothing wrong, like it seems so far, I will post this again as a bug-report.
cheers,

Ok, got your email. The problem is that you use GetActiveDocument(). Now during rendering this gives you the document of your scene but the renderer works with a clone of the document. So to fix this you have to use the COFFEE tags doc parameter or if you use XPresso you have to feed the code node with object links and for the time use the time node. I will see if I can fix your expression but this will take some time.

cheers,
Matthias
