Hey My Friend!

Thank you for the response. So, thinking I understood this, I'm able to change the value within the console, but am still getting an error on the line with that syntax inside the script, I'm sure I'm missing something, I'm gonna re-trace my steps here. What I'm trying to do overall goes back to my first post about the OSC thing, so my thinking is figure out how change the value in a UserData Field on a specified piece of mesh, and then assign a variable to listen to the OSC integer, once I cross that bridge haha, but this is where I believe I shoudl start....I think...haha. Here's a screenshot showing my findings.

Thanks again for your time Maxime!

Cheers!

Hey Everyone,

I hope this finds everyone well. I'm trying my best to learn about the interaction of UserData on objects with a very basic understanding of python(if that haha), I was reading this thread and playing around with it: https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/11467/access-custom-user-data-by-name-not-by-id
and I'm now trying to figure out what functions to call to update the UserData without having to delete the UserData, edit the value then execute the script again. My guess is to use the SetUserDataContainer.
I attached what my best guess is right now, gonna keep messing and researching the forums.
Thanks for your time!

Cheers!

Hey Guys!

Thank you very much for the insight! All of this makes sense, it helps me understand a little more about how the node part works! I really appreciate the time on this and thanks again for the help! I hope y'all are doing well!

Cheers!

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering what might be easier to acheive a very "simple" task I'm trying to accomplish. I'm trying to grab a single OSC message from an external program (touchdesigner) and bring it into C4D to control a slider I built for an object. Is utilizing the xpresso tag python script easier or does OSC not exist in that node? Appologies if this is a redundent question, still researching the best I can. Thank you for your time!

Cheers!
