Hi,

I found some unfamiliar commands in the Extensions menu of 2024.1.0. Are they displayed unintentionally?
If they are for users, I would like to know how they work.

hi @i_mazlov ,

I understand that it is not supported, so I will use Scene Nodes to generate the spline this time.
No other questions, thank you very much.

Hi,

I have a Python Generator Object that returns a Spline Object. I want to use this spline for the distribution of a Cloner Object, but it does not generate any clones on the spline.
The spline works fine when used for Generators such as Sweep, Extrude, Loft etc.

The Python Generator Code:

import c4d

def main():
    spline = c4d.SplineObject(pcnt=4, type=c4d.SPLINETYPE_LINEAR)

    spline.ResizeObject(pcnt=4, scnt=1)

    spline.SetPoint(id=0, pos=c4d.Vector(0, 0, 0))
    spline.SetPoint(id=1, pos=c4d.Vector(100, 100, 100))
    spline.SetPoint(id=2, pos=c4d.Vector(200, 200, 200))
    spline.SetPoint(id=3, pos=c4d.Vector(300, 300, 300))

    spline.SetSegment(id=0, cnt=4, closed=False)

    spline.Message(type=c4d.MSG_UPDATE)

    return spline

The Scene File:
PyGenSplineAndCloner.c4d

I would appriciate it if you could check to see if it is a bug or I am missing somthing in the code.

Hi @m_adam,

Sorry for the delay in responding.
Yes, the problem has been resolved.

Hi,

I am drawing an object as a node in UserArea and I want to drag that object only to the InExclude list (Attribute Manager).
The problem is that when I use HandleMouseDrag(), I can also drag to the Object Manager and that object will be duplicated unintentionally.
So I need to know how to restrict dragging to the object manager and only allow dragging to the Attribute Manager.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I am trying to control which parameters of ObjectPlugin are shown/hidden depending on the values of another parameter.
For example, the Cloner object switches which parameters it displays depending on its "mode" parameter.

From the other threads I see that overriding GetDDescription() is the key to achieving this, but I just can't get it to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Manuel ,
Sorry for asking a question that has already been resolved in another thread.
That thread solved my question. Thank you.

Hi,

I tried to get the weight values from a Vertex Map tag in the documented way.
It workd for editable polygon objects, but not for uneditable obejcts.

The .c4d file:
VertexMapWeightsFromUneditableObjects.c4d

The code:

import c4d

def main():
    tag = op.GetFirstTag()
    weight = tag.GetAllHighlevelData()
    print(weight)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

The result for uneditalble cube:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scriptmanager", line 9, in <module>
  File "scriptmanager", line 5, in main
SystemError: <method 'GetAllHighlevelData' of 'c4d.VariableTag' objects> returned NULL without setting an error

The result for editalble cube:

[0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0]

Is there any way to get the weight values for uneditable objects? Thank you.

Hi @ferdinand,

So the normal direction of the generated polygons was the point!
Thank you for answering my curiosity and explaining how to reproduce the behavior.

Hi,

Out of curiosity, I would like to know under what conditions the inner segment of a spline behaves as a hole.
If possible, I would like to reproduce this behavior in Python Generator.
Any hints would be appreciated.
