Hi, this is not possible since CallCommand is the thing called when you click on an icon to do an operation so its wrap undo creation and so on, which are step not allowed in a thread and since the executing of tags are threaded, this is not possible. For more information about threading in Cinema 4D please read Threading Information.

And to be honest I don't really see any workaround for you, which doesn't require some plugins or some kind of complicated hack.

Since it's a follow up from Record Keyframe of Object's property when it changes (Python; is it possible?) I will wait until you answer to the previous one because maybe this will already fix your issue.

Cheers,

Hi @Fowdy first of all welcome in the plugincafe community.

Since it's your first post no worry, but I've set up it correctly so please for the next one do it correctly see:

• Q&A New Functionality
• How to Post Questions.

Regarding your question, I'm wondering if you are looking for Cappucino which let you record PSR while the timeline is playing.
But the only drawback it does work only for PSR data.

However, this is not clear if you want to interact with the viewport or not while the recoding occurs if not a solution could be that you animate the document via script and create specific keyframes, for more information about how to do it please find the next examples:

• How to change the document time
• To Creates KeyFrame for a specific parameter

Do not hesitate to ask if there is anything you don't understand.

Hi, just a side note I should have realized but the minimal OSX version requirements is 10.14 see System Requierements.

This could come from here but we are not 100% sure.

Hi @oli_d glad the re-installation fix the issue, however first of all this is an unknown issue, but last week someone experienced the same issue C4D R21.207 Console don't do anything.

Since no bugfix was done in this direction since R21.207 and R23.008 I think you experienced the same issue. However, we still can't reproduce it.

So we are wondering:

1. Did you copy-paste some preference files within the R23 preference folder from a previous version?
2. Did it work initially on R23.008 and from a day to another it stopped working?
3. Do you have any plugin installed?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi @indexofrefraction glad you found the cause of the issue, however I'm wondering in which context

def userdataFocus(doc, tag):
	''' set object manager focus on userdata '''
	doc.SetActiveTag(tag)
	c4d.gui.ActiveObjectManager_SetObject(c4d.ACTIVEOBJECTMODE_TAG, tag, c4d.ACTIVEOBJECTMANAGER_SETOBJECTS_OPEN, c4d.ID_USERDATA)
	doc.SetActiveTag(None)

Is called.

Since it does crash when you open the file directly, I assume you have the previous code called during the Execute of a Tag or a Python Generator.
But both functions are threaded functions. Meaning Any GUI related call is not allowed, because as you experienced, doing GUI stuff within a thread can make Cinema 4D crash for more information please read threading information

This could also confirm why it works on Mac OS and not on Windows since they are 2 different OS where the drawing pipeline is slightly different so you may found some cases where something does work in one Os but not on the other and vise-versa.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi unfortunately there is nothing built-in so you have to iterate over the scene.

import c4d

def HierarchyIterator(obj):
    while obj:
        yield obj
        for opChild in HierarchyIterator(obj.GetDown()):
            yield opChild
        obj = obj.GetNext()


def main():
    names = set()
    for obj in HierarchyIterator(doc.GetFirstObject()):
        objName = obj.GetName()
        if objName not in names:
            names.add(objName)
        else:
            print("{0} Is already present".format(objName))


if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi, correct this is a known issue, I should have mentioned in the Changelog, I will update it next week.

We removed the usage of PYTHONPATH since it's too problematic in case of multiple Cinema 4D versions installed and since PYTHONPATH can be used for a large variety of scripts that could not work in Python 3.7

Nice idea @zipit, however the result should be something like

<_maxon_init.StdOutCatcher object at 0x000002CF0BC49F98>

Regarding your issue, in the attached mp4 I still see some plugins loaded (but I guess it's because you made the video before removing them)

Could you try to:

1. Write in Python console directly (after the 3 >>>), and not within the CommandLine to see if it come from the CommandLine (while I'm still not able to reproduce).
2. What is your Cinema 4D Installation path? Does it contains unicode character?)
3. Do Python plugins are loaded?
4. Could you try to copy/paste the Cinema 4D installation directory to another place (This way fresh preference folder will be created)

Cheers,
Maxime.

deleting cookies and local storage plugin is not enough, could you try to

• Open the Developer Tool via F12
• Left Click on the refresh button and Select "Empty Cache and Hard Reload"
  
• Do another search
• it should be fixed (The link you copy/paste in the forum will still be wrong, but the link generated by the search should work).

For more information please read How to do hard refresh in Chrome, Firefox and IE?

Cheers,
Maxime.

Thanks, Zipit you are right, I should have mentioned it, but I was focused on a realtime solution, my bad.

So thanks again for your daily contribution, this is very appreciated.
