Hello,
How Can I simple create a object only with points (no polygons)?

Here is a script that creates an points-only object (a sine curve). Have a look at the comments and the COFFEE docu.
var op = AllocObject(Opolygon);
if(!op) return;
var vc = new(VariableChanged); if (!vc) return FALSE; //VariableChanged is needed for changing the point count
var cnt = op->GetPointCount();
vc->Init(cnt,100);
op->MultiMessage(MSG_POINTS_CHANGED,vc);
var n=0;
var points = op->GetPoints();
cnt = op->GetPointCount();
for(n=0; n<cnt; n++) //iterating over the point array and changing of the point values
{
points[n] = vector(n,10.0*sin(float(n/float(cnt))*pi2),0);
}
doc->StartUndo();
doc->AddUndo(UNDO_OBJECT,op);
op->SetPoints(points); //write the point array back to the object
op->Message(MSG_UPDATE);
doc->AddUndo(UNDO_OBJECT_NEW,op);
doc->InsertObject(op,NULL,NULL);
doc->EndUndo();
cheers,
