Hy there,

what function can I use to check for a certain type of object?
I tried CheckType, GetType(), GetName() ...

I want to recourse over the hierarchy and put all matching objects into a list (say, all Sweep NURBS).

The following will fail:

import c4d
sweeps = []

def getSweeps(obj) :
  global sweeps
 
  if obj == None: return

if obj.CheckType(c4d.Osweep) :
  sweeps.append(obj)
 
  print "obj: "+ str(obj)

if obj.GetDown() : getSweeps(obj.GetDown)
  if obj.GetNext() : getSweeps(obj.GetNext)

def main() :
  global reset

reset = False

print "Impulses: "+getSweeps(obj.GetDown())

Error is:
obj: <c4d.SplineObject object at 0x0000000015F8D3B0>
Traceback (most recent call last) :
  File "<Python>", line 27, in main
  File "<Python>", line 18, in getSweeps
  File "<Python>", line 12, in getSweeps
AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'CheckType'

BTW. I have this Python code in a XPresso Tag on top of the hierarchy I want to parse.

Thank you,
maxx

You pass a method in your code: getSweeps(obj.GetDown) -> getSweeps(obj.GetDown () )

Btw, I recommend you to avoid global variables if possible.

import c4d
  
def getSweeps(obj, sweeps) :
    if obj == None: return 
  
    if obj.CheckType(c4d.Osweep) :
        sweeps.append(obj)
  
    print "obj: "+ str(obj)
  
    getSweeps(obj.GetDown(),sweeps)
    getSweeps(obj.GetNext(),sweeps)
  
  
def main() :
    obj=op
    sweeps=[]
    getSweeps(obj.GetDown(), sweeps)
    print sweeps

I am so used to Java IDEs ... don't see the simple things anymore ... now I also understand the Traceback ...

Thanx,
