I ´f some questions about R8 and coffee:
- You can look up the comtainer ID´s in the resouce.h files, but there are less IDs than in R7!
how can i access data like PRIM_CAPSULE_TFILLETY ?
-Can´t I do global Arrays?
-there seems to be a connection between the Rad and lengt of the Capsule. with length 100 and rad over 50 i get a null-obj!
-Ican´t find something like a Track.h ? How can I identify Positiontrack ? getclass(track) only puts out " baseTrack" .
greetings, Nico

That isn't a valid element. The capsule object has no fillets.

Yes, but you need to initialize them the first time you use them.

Well, have a look at the resulting object at the edge case (100/50). Not much room for a bigger radius, right? So rad <= length/2 I think.

I don't think it's possible to create tracks from C.O.F.F.E.E. in R8, as many tracks are now value tracks connected to a description element instead of individual tracks.

My foult, it was PRIM_CONE_TFILLETY.
It is possible to create Tracks in R8 with coffee! No Problems with that, but i want to fine one specific among the existing ones. I want to check if there is already a PLA Track for that obj.
And another (stupid) question: Sometime i magage it to write code that Cinema crashes! It tells me about a error-report it wrote bevore it closes. where can i find that report? i searched my machine after .log files but found nothing...
Is it possible to get the point-coordinates of a deformed obj? I helped me out with ´current state to obj´then read out the points and move the points of my original obj, then delete the new obj and so on but this isn´t very elegant..

afaik, no. This is not possible with COFFEE.

That´s os dependant I guess. But don´t care about that error-report, but fix the bug. A bit of Debugging with a print or println should help you narrow down the bug or the lines where the bug is situated. If it´s really an emulation bug you can still report that bug.

No, that´s not possible with COFFEE.

You could try BaseDocument::AnimateDocument().
