Hi All,
I'm on my first plugin, and by no means a true Python developer.
my plugin is relatively simple : it gets a cloner from a LINK box in the GUI, and creates a null for each clone, with a compositing tag attached, and gets the matrix of each clone from the GetCache() and applies it to each null, making them follow the clones.

It all works fine on the viewport, but if i export an AEC file, the nulls are all static, and not following changes caused by effectors, like position or rotation etc. it DOES work on the viewport as you scrub the timeline in C4D though.

i'm creating the Nulls during the GetVirtualObjects() function, and changing their Matrix on the Execute() function.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Eddie

Apologies if this has been answered before, but I could not find it by searching.

my plugin makes a null follow the matrix of another object. problem is that because of priorities unless the plugin object is after the "target" it is always one frame behind ( or it snaps on position when you refresh the viewport)

my plugin is based on ObjectData, and is a Generator, not a tag, so how do I go about changing the priority so that the code only runs after the target's matrix has been calculated?

i'd much appreciate a "dummies" explanation, as I am still only dipping my toes into programming and plugin dev

Many thanks,
Eddie
