Ill try this. thanks!

EDIT: hey nux, thanks for the quick response,  but im not sure that code is correct/I'm not using it correctly. mostly, though, i dont see any reference to the mograph module in the SDK other than checking for it. is it a BaseObject? and if so, why is it that when i drag a cloner object into the console, it gives me "Omograph_cloner" as the ID name, if that is not correct ID?

Try this:

import c4d  
from c4d import gui  
  
def main() :  
  cloner = c4d.BaseObject(1018544)   
  doc.InsertObject(cloner)  
  c4d.EventAdd()  
  
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

With the coffee script log open.
Create something. And many times it will write out the CallCommand(ID number) for you.
In this case. I just plucked out the ID number and used it in the BaseObject() function.

You can also just use c4d.CallCommand(1018544) if you prefer.

thanks! so there is no name for the cloner other than it's ID#? i actually got the ID through the script log by simply creating a cloner, but i wasn't sure that it was invoking the cloner or a function to create a cloner. anyway, ill keep this in my notes for the future! thanks again scott!

I've found that sometimes the string ID's don't work.
I'm not sure why. It might be because they haven't been set up yet.
So while it's better to use the text based ID's. Sometimes you have no other choice but to use the numeric ID's.

@Scott: Yea,
This is especially the Case in Coffee, but in Python There must be a stringid !

If you create a description for a TagData or ObjectData Plugin, the "NAME xxx;" Parameter defines inter alia the String id.I don't know if this is only for Python plugins, but I think this counts for every plugin.
(And everything in C4D *is* actually just a plugin)

Yea, but the argument of the NAME Parameter is actually the same as the description name. I.e. ocube.res -> "NAME Ocube;"

//edit:
Ok, I have to excuse me ! I was wrong with theese statements:

I'm sorry.
And it really seem's like there is no string id for a clonerobject.

It's all good! i downloaded the coffee bible from scott's site and it has an entire list of all the objects with matching ID#s. super helpful for this kind of thing. just thought I'd throw it out there. thanks yet again scott!

Yes, there are some object IDs which are defined somewhere in the C++ API header file of the lib where the object belongs to. Therefore some of them are missing in Python because only a bunch of header files is parsed on startup.

For those missing ID's a quick way to find them is to look at your 'interface_icons.txt' file.  It's got all the string and Int Id's listed in one text file.   It's in your /resource/icon/ folder.  I keep a copy open in my project file for whatever I'm working on at the moment.
