OBJECT_OPERATOR_OBJECT_OUT

Hi,

I'm working on a python script.
I want to make some expresso nodes with it.
Adding the node and a position-output port works fine, but when I try to add an object-output port it does nothing.
No errors, but no port as well.

Here is the code I use:

import c4d
from c4d import gui
#Welcome to the world of Python

def main() :
doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()
pointobject = doc.GetActiveObject()

xpressotag = c4d.BaseTag(c4d.Texpresso)
xpressotag.SetName("PointLock XPresso")
op.InsertTag(xpressotag)
nodemaster = xpressotag.GetNodeMaster()
basenode = nodemaster.CreateNode(nodemaster.GetRoot(), c4d.ID_OPERATOR_OBJECT, None, 100, 100)
basenodeobjectoutput = basenode.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_OUTPUT, c4d.GV_OBJECT_OPERATOR_OBJECT_OUT)
basenodepositionoutput = basenode.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_OUTPUT, c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_REL_POSITION)
c4d.modules.graphview.RedrawMaster(nodemaster)
c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
main()

I think there isn't anything wrong with my code, and I found "GV_OBJECT_OPERATOR_OBJECT_OUT inside Applications -> CINEMA 4D R16 -> resource -> modules -> expression tag -> description -> gvobject.res

What I want is the port to be added.

Thanks in advance for your help and time!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I am pretty sure this Port is broken in python. I haven't used that bit of code in R16 yet but from the sound of it, it's still broken? What I have done to bypass this is to add a link userdata to the object and add the object to the link and then make an output port for the link. (A lot of unnecessary code)

Hi Sebastian,

Do you know when (approximately) the bug will be fixed?

@ShawnFrueh, thanks, I'll look into it!

Hello,

I don't know when this bug will be fixed. Also I can't make any statements about future Cinema 4D releases.

@ShawnFrueh,

Hi,

Thanks again for your answer!
After a bit of digging how to make user data I came up with a perfectly working script to create an object port, like you did it!

Here is my code, for the people not yet understanding it:

import c4d
from c4d import gui
#Welcome to the world of Python

def main() :
  doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()
  pointobject = doc.GetActiveObject()
 
  userdata = c4d.GetCustomDatatypeDefault(c4d.DTYPE_BASELISTLINK)
  userdata[c4d.DESC_NAME] = "Object Data"
 
  linkobject = op.AddUserData(userdata)
  op[linkobject] = op

xpressotag = c4d.BaseTag(c4d.Texpresso)
  xpressotag.SetName("PointLock XPresso")
  op.InsertTag(xpressotag)
  nodemaster = xpressotag.GetNodeMaster()
  basenode = nodemaster.CreateNode(nodemaster.GetRoot(), c4d.ID_OPERATOR_OBJECT, None, 100, 100)
  basenodeobjectoutput = basenode.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_OUTPUT, c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.ID_USERDATA, c4d.DTYPE_SUBCONTAINER, 0), c4d.DescLevel(1)), message = True)
  basenodepositionoutput = basenode.AddPort(c4d.GV_PORT_OUTPUT, c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_REL_POSITION)
  c4d.modules.graphview.RedrawMaster(nodemaster)
  c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
  main()
