Hello All,

i need to set a environment path variable inside my code before the plugin is loaded.
What i need to do is to make another plugin that load before the VrayBridge.. and set this env variable.

How i can force my plugin to load before my bridge? Is case sensitive?

Another question: How i can set the Path variable inside cinema?

thanks a lot

Is the VrayBridge another plugin?  If so, you can make your plugin load later with:

    
    
      
    //*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*  
    Bool PluginMessage(LONG id, void* data)  
    //*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*  
    {  
        if (id == C4DPL_INIT_SYS)  
        {  
            // initialize global resource object  
            if (!resource.Init())  
                return false;  
            return true;  
        }  
        else if (id == C4DMSG_PRIORITY)  
        {  
            // make plugin load after other plugins...  
            SetPluginPriority(data, C4DPL_INIT_PRIORITY_PLUGINS-1);  
            return true;  
        }  
        return false;  
    }
