Hi,

thanks for providing us with additional details.
There's not a direct way to achieve this as the MoSpline only has one width parameter and it's not possible to split this for segments of the input spline.

But if you unfold the width parameter (the small black triangle at the beginning) you are being offered a Formula parameter. By this you can achieve it, even if the way seems a bit twisted.
With the Formula you can do something like this:
if (segment == 0; 0.5; if (segment == 1; 1.0; 0.0))
The syntax is if (cond; cond is true value; cond is false value). In my example above it will set the radius to 0.5 if segment index is zero and then in the "else branch" there's another nested if clause, setting the radius to 1.0 for segment index equal 1 and for all other segments it sets the radius to 0.0. By nesting more and more if clauses you can basically achieve, what you want. And you could use either Xpresso or a Python Tag to concatenate the formula string as needed.

Not the most straight forward solution. But it should do the trick.

I have moved this thread to Cinema 4D Development category.

Hi,

I'm terribly sorry, this topic was left open in the old forum.
As I said there, I can reproduce the issue. It is under investigation in development and I hope we'll get a fix in future. Unfortunately I don't have a workaround to offer currently.

I have turned your thread into a question, see Q&A New Functionality.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi,

with a DLG_TYPE_ASYNC_POPUPEDIT it is not possible. The functions you mentioned are for receiving or starting drag and drop operations from you GeUserArea, but not to drag the dialog itself.
If you really need to stick with a popup dialog, there's an awkward solution with a DLG_TYPE_ASYNC_POPUP_RESIZEABLEdialog. By resizing (!) the user could move the dialog. But as I said, that's awkward.

Otherwise I can only suggest to use a DLG_TYPE_ASYNC instead.

I have turned your thread into a question, see Q&A New Functionality.

@rsodre : You old list of plugin IDs is not lost. You can contact us via mail (please include your user name in the old Plugin Café forum and one plugin ID) and we can send it to you.

Hi,

I have turned your thread into a question, see Q&A New Functionality.
Also moved the thread to the category Cinema 4D Development.

In Cinema 4D R19 you can use the environment variable C4D_PLUGINS_DIR to set another path for plugins.
It may even contain multiple directories (separated by semicolon ; ), although there was a bug in the early versions of R19, which prevented this. The bug was fixed with R19 SP2.
There's an old thread discussing this, where you can also see how it's used: C4D_PLUGINS_DIR Multiple path
Admittedly the original poster still seemed to have issues with mutiple paths, which we have not been able to reproduce, though.

In Cinema 4D R20 this was changed completely. There you have multiple options:

• Multiple plugin directories can be set in Cinema's preferences
• g_additionalModulePath environment variable
• Additional plugin directories can be specified on command line Cinema4D.exe g_additionalModulePath=...

See also Environment Variables in the user help and also the thread Is C4D_PLUGINS_DIR env var still working (R20.0.28)?.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi,

both answers already provide valid solutions. Nice.

@Rage: Please also consider to use the tagging system (see Read Before Posting) and the Question and Answer feature (see Q&A New Functionality). Especially the tags can help, like for example in this case @mp5gosu would probably have provided you with Python code, if the respective tag was set.
Besides setting tags and changing into a question, I have also moved this thread into the Cinema 4D Development category.

And then I want to add a few links to Python docs:
GeListNode
CallCommand()

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi Donovan,

thanks for your feedback. Currently we are bound mostly by DevKitchen preparations. But we promise to get back to this issue and think about other options as soon as we find the time.

Until then: If you click on the "unread message queue", there in the top right you have commands to mark messages as read, either all or just for certain categories. Maybe this can at least ease your pain, until we find the time to address the issue.

Bye,
Andreas

Hi,

no worries, we'll get you there.

One recommendation: When doing Python development, have the Cinema 4D Console window open (Menu Script -> Console...). There you will be presented with errors.

I think, your problem will be, that you try to access op, probably intending to change parameters of the active object. In Script Manager doc and op are global variables predefined for convenience. In a plugin, you have to get these yourself using GetActiveDocument() and GetActiveObject().

Bye,
Andreas

Hi,

you really shouldn't rely on updating a dialog from the render pipeline. You simply do not know, in which context the rendering is happening. For example it could be in command line renderer, which doesn't have a GUI at all.

Instead it would be better to take the result from rendering after it has finished and then update the dialog.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi,

you have to react to the button in your GeDialog implementation, namely in the Command() function.
See for example these lines in the Py-TextureBaker example.

So picking up my example snippet from above, the Command function could look like so:

    def Command(self, id, msg):
        if id==2000: # corresponds to the button ID used in the code snippet in the first answer in this thread
            print "My Bitmap Button"
        return True

Cheers,
Andreas
