I have create my own Python tag, not a plugin but a tag.
How can I add this tag into Cinema 4d's interface?

Ok, I now see my tag in the object manager. However, I cannot add it to an object.
Here the code (all it should do, is print "hello world" when frame =0) :
import c4d import os import sys from c4d import gui, plugins, bitmaps
PLUGIN_ID = 1234567880 #test id
class SayHello(plugins.ToolData) : pass #put in your code here
def Execute(self, tag, doc, op, bt, priority, flags) :
frame = doc.GetTime().GetFrame(doc.GetFps()) if (frame == 0) : print "Hello World." return c4d.EXECUTIONRESULT_OK
if __name__ == "__main__": bmp = bitmaps.BaseBitmap() dir, file = os.path.split("D:\Program Files\MAXON\CINEMA 4D R13\plugins\hello.pyp") fn = os.path.join(dir, "res", "Icon.tif") print dir, file bmp.InitWith(fn) #c4d.plugins.RegisterTagPlugin(id, str, info, g, description, icon[, disklevel=0][, res]) okyn = plugins.RegisterTagPlugin(id=PLUGIN_ID, str="Hello", info=c4d.TAG_VISIBLE, g=SayHello, description=None, icon=None) print "SayHello initialized: ", okyn

I changed class SayHello(plugins.ToolData) : to class SayHello(plugins.TagData) : and now I can add it to an object.
However, the Icon is not displayed ok, I get aquestion mark (?). Also the tag does not seem to get executed. On frame == 0, nothing is printed.

Hi, you pass icon = None so you don't get an icon. The tag must be registered as an expression tag. Pass info = c4d.TAG_VISIBLE | c4d.TAG_EXPRESSION to the register function. Hope that helps.
Cheers, Sebastian

Thanks, it is now working.
So, 3 issues: - c4d.TAG_EXPRESSION needs to be set - description directory must be there, although I do not use a user interface - reload Python plugins command do not always seem to work (or it might be my messing with directories, etc.)
