Hi Suda,
thanks for stopping by and don't worry, nobody will be blamed for his English. I'm no native speaker myself.
If I understand correctly, you want to automate the job of caching cloth tags. By intuition I'd try that with a Python script.
Unfortunately the SDK Support Team can't help with developing such scripts from scratch. But I'm quite sure, there's somebody in the community, who may want to try himself on this. Anybody?

Hi Suda,
with Python you can do something like this:
import c4d
def GetNextObject(op) :
if op==None:
return None
if op.GetDown() :
return op.GetDown()
while not op.GetNext() and op.GetUp() :
op = op.GetUp()
return op.GetNext()
def IterateHierarchy(op) :
ClothTagList=[]
if op is None:
return
count = 0
while op:
count += 1
if op.GetTag(100004020)!= None: #id for the cloth tag
ClothTagList.append(op.GetTag(100004020))
op = GetNextObject(op)
return ClothTagList
def main() :
doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()
first = doc.GetFirstObject()
ClothTagList=IterateHierarchy(first)
for i in ClothTagList:
c4d.CallButton(i, c4d.CLOTH_DO_CALCULATE )
if __name__=='__main__':
main()

Another idea would be to directly simulate the Cache button.
You can use c4d.CallButton(...) to do this. As parameters you'll need to pass the object and the button ID.
Be aware: This call needs to be done from the main thread. For a normal Python script this is no problem, in a Python Plugin you might need to care.

Hi Andreas,
I´ve already used the call button in the script.
But thank you for the good hint to check the main thread inside a plugin.
As I´m scripting the snippet yesterday between changing diapers and singing a lullaby.
Here a more efficient script without a list and more error checking.
@ Suda
Hope this helps.
import c4d
from c4d import gui
def GetNextObject(op) :
if op==None:
return None
if op.GetDown() :
return op.GetDown()
while not op.GetNext() and op.GetUp() :
op = op.GetUp()
return op.GetNext()
def IterateHierarchy(op) :
if op is None:
return
count = 0
while op:
count += 1
if op.GetType!=c4d.Opolygon:
dialog=gui.MessageDialog("A Polygon object for caching is needed",c4d.GEMB_OK)
if dialog== 1:
return
if op.GetTag(100004020)!= None:
ClothTag = op.GetTag(100004020)
c4d.CallButton(ClothTag, c4d.CLOTH_DO_CALCULATE )
op = GetNextObject(op)
return
def main() :
doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()
first = doc.GetFirstObject()
if first == None:return
IterateHierarchy(first)
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
Best wishes
