hi,
i' am trying to create my first actual plugin. i have some minor experience with pyhton scripts and python xpresso nodes, so i am used to the SDK and the language itself. i am following the the python
example project Py-RoundedTube and the description files of c4d.olight.i understood basicly the description system , but nevertheless i am pretty much stuck now. i cannot init the values properly which i set up in my description files. i have tried to use different ids, removed
description layout groups and more without any real success.here is my project cropped to the relevant parts :
** Polylight.pyp**

when i execute the plugin the following things happen :
- the console throws AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SEENBYBYCAMERA'
- when i toggle comment SEENBYCAMERA and SEENBYREFRACTIONS the console doesn't throw any errors, but SOME initalized values aren't displayed correct. however they seem to be correct internally, because draging the values into the console returns the correct values.
- at this point - changing the id of LIGHT_COLOR from 1001 to 1000 will break the the correct init of the color. 1001 - color is white, 1000 color is black.
where is my mistake ? i could write much more, spent quite some time with this, but i think this
won't help aynone. i hope somone can enlighten me :)
cheers,
ferdinand

Se if doing the init on the DataInstance helps.
(What I do in an object plugin of mine.)class Opolylight(plugins.ObjectData) : def Init(self, op) : data = op.GetDataInstance() data.SetVector(c4d.LIGHT_COLOR,c4d.Vector(1.0,1.0,1.0) data.SetFloat(c4d.LIGHT_BRIGHTNESS,1.0) data.SetLong(c4d.LIGHT_TYPE,1) etc… return True def Draw() def GetVirtualObjects()Cheers

hi,
thank for your reply, the console still returns:

for :

Lennartnot sure what you want to say ? SEENBYCAMERA like the boolean in the compositing tag.

weeh,
its far too late for me :) however, after correcting the typo the console returns :
_ AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SEENBYREFLECTIONS' _

the funny thing is, c4d.SEENBYREFLECTIONS is true and its checkbox is checked. if there is a god, its a cruel one :(

Perhaps you are having trouble because you changed your descriptions. But didn't delete your coffeesymbolcache file?
That one tends to burn everyone at least once.

To me,
self.InitAttr(op, bool, [c4d.SEENBYBYREFLECTIONS]) self.InitAttr(op, bool, [c4d.SEENBYBYREFRACTIONS])looks spelt wrong "..BYBY.." but also as Scott mentioned,
the coffesymbolcache file might need to be deleted for
Cinema to update it.Cheers

You didn't specify Mac or PC. Or what version you're using.
There are a great many differences between R12 & R13. So please always provide that info in your posts.BTW: I don't know if you know this or not. But the file link you posted says I need special permission from you to download it. That's not going to get you a lot of help either.

Lol.
That stupid cache file thing is sort of a rite of passage that all python plugin newbies have to go through.
It's sort of like a fraternity hazing...Everyone has to go through it at least once to be in the club.
