Hi ,
when I try to change the cloner type with python in the script manager , the mode changes , but the interface don't update until I set the type manually .
I tried the .message , with some flags but couldn't find the right one , any advice on how to solve this problem ?
thanks

Maybe you should post a code because maybe I missunderstand waht you mean by type but here doing the following working correctly
import c4d
import random
def main() :
op[c4d.ID_MG_MOTIONGENERATOR_MODE] = random.randint(0,3)
c4d.EventAdd()
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
You could also try to setDirty

even in your code it is the same problem , check the pic :

the cloner mode is set to grid array but the interface is for the object mode (the previous mode which I set manually )

For me is working correctly when I press the button execute. Everything is updated correctly.
Maybe you tried it in a thread context?
And I guess dev will as kyou your c4d version (My last code working on the last R17/R18)

thanks for help ,
the problem was weird , if my cloner don't have child then it doesn't update , but if I put an object under it it works fine .

Hi guys,
I'm sorry for chiming in so late. Are you really sure, it's solved on your end?
I still can reproduce the initial problem even with children here. I'll investigate further on Monday.

at the moment every thing is ok
check this code if it working in your end or not (it is running fine with me )
import c4d
from c4d import gui , utils
def main() :
spline = doc.GetActiveObject() #you have to select and editable spline
if spline == None or spline.GetType() !=5101:
gui.MessageDialog("Select a spline to start !")
return
clo = c4d.BaseObject(1018544) # define cloner
cir = c4d.BaseObject(5179) # define n-side spline
cir.InsertUnder(clo)
doc.InsertObject(clo) # create cloner
clo[c4d.ID_MG_MOTIONGENERATOR_MODE]=0
clo[c4d.MG_OBJECT_LINK] = spline
clo[c4d.MG_SPLINE_MODE]=3
c4d.EventAdd()
if __name__=='__main__':
main()

Hi,
you are lucky as you create the cloner and set the mode just once.
If you were trying to implement a script, which for example toggles the mode between linear and radial, then you'd run into the same issue again (the AM interface not properly reflecting the mode change).
The problem is, that after a change of this parameter a MSG_DESCRIPTION_CHECKUPDATE is needed. Unfortunately this message is currently not supported in our Python SDK, so it's currently not possible to reliably switch the mode parameter of a MoGraph cloner from Python.
I have set this message type on the list of our Python todos.
