Hi,

Is there a way I can select several files in LoadDialog()?
Currently, it only allows me to select one file.
It doesn't seem to have any flags for multiple selections but I might be missing something.

Ben

Thanks for the response

Oh thanks. It now works on native c4d emitter but not in xparticles emitter.
No worries, the solution by @zipit works

@zipit

Thanks. It works as expected. Here's the code I used added in a python tag

    orig = doc.SearchObject("original")
    dup = doc.SearchObject("duplicate")
    
    orig_container = orig.GetDataInstance()
    orig_container.CopyTo(dup.GetDataInstance(), flags= c4d.COPYFLAGS_PRIVATE_CONTAINER_COPY_IDENTICAL, trans=None)

    c4d.EventAdd()

HI,

Is there a way Copy All Parameters of One Object to Another in Real Time?
Basically, an instance. I would use the instance object but it does not work for emitter.

You can see the problem here:

Ah gotcha. Thanks for the confirmation and the sample code.

Hi,

Is there a way to get the "next" object of doc.SearchObject() method.
As I understand, if there are two objects name cube. The method will retrieve first cube in the outliner.
Is there a way to get the next cube object?

My use case is this:

1. Check if there are objects with the same name
2. If there are, throw an error. Every object must have a unique name.

I guess I can do this with the traversing objects hierarchy code provided by the plugincafe.
Storing each object name and comparing them with each other.

But it would be nice if I can just do this with doc.SearchObject so I can shorten the logic.

Ben

Gotcha. Thanks for the confirmation.

Is this now possible for R23?

I have a similar problem before. I think it has a bug on the layout.
Try resetting your default layout. Restart Cinema4D. Access Console again.

@m_adam

Thanks for the response.
I tried replacing the line as you suggested but it gives an error

D:\>c4dpy.exe teapot.py ('Error Line : 64', 'error', error(10048, 'Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted'))

Interestingly, my teapot.py doesn't actually reach 64 lines.

Is there way around this?

I guess it is necessary for R21+ and up
