Hi
I now how to access the Character Object and its methods from the different python tabs on the Character Object itself. (Character component tags python tab etc)
But how do i access a Character Object from another python tag or a script in the script manager.
#Get the BaseObject
myCharacterObject = doc.SearchObject("Character")
#Get the CharacterObject
...
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Bonsak,
the question is, what do you mean by accessing the Character object?
For example in Script Manager you can simply do this (assuming Character object is selected, otherwise your SearchObject() should work as well), in order to access settings of the Character object:
def main() :
if op is None or not op.CheckType(c4d.Ocharacter) :
print "No character object, please select a character object"
return
op[c4d.ID_CA_CHARACTER_TEMPLATE] = 0 # Switch to Advanced Quadruped
c4d.EventAdd()
If you want to "press" the buttons it gets a bit more complicated, as you can't simply use CallButton(). So it would be good to know, where you are heading?

Thanks Andreas. I need to use some of the methods in c4d.modules.character.builder on the Character object, but i can't figure out how to get there 
If i have a character object selected and do like this:
import c4d
from c4d.modules.character import builder as BU
def main() :
char = BU.CharacterObject(op)
print char # Returns <c4d.modules.character.builder.CharacterObject object at 0x12f260288>
print char.GetObject() # Returns "None" ?
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
Some of the methods i would like to use are: GetComponents(), PostInsertComponent(), IncludeObjects(), but i can't figure out how.
