Hi @AiMiDi, MSG_DRAGANDROP will be received when the host receive a drag, I didn't tried but I guess only dialog can react to this message. In you case you will need to set the NBIT NBIT_NO_DD like so op.ChangeNBit(c4d.NBIT_NO_DD, c4d.NBITCONTROL_SET).

Hi would it be possible to share you resource file?
Do you override the Message method?

I saw that you use the flag DESCFLAGS_DESC::RECURSIONLOCK is there any reason for that? This prevent further evaluation and may cause the issue.

One things, you can also upload GIF up to 4mb directly in the forum (just drag and drop it).

Hi @Kantronin, I don't have a lot to add Thanks @Cairyn , for more information about the console, please read Python Console.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi @Kantronin I don't think there is that much to add but I want to mention that c4d.CallCommand automatically add an undo to the undo stack, while c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand with it's flags arguments can be defined. But you need to start and end the undo with the c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand, so this way you can have multiple SendModelingCommand within an undo.

See basedocument_undo example for undo management.

Hi @InterfaceGuy Unfortually we do not provide support for 3rd party module, even more to old version which had issue with pip.

Cheers,

Hi I did try using the PLUGINFLAG_COMMAND_STICKY Unfortually this does not work as expected, I would need to dig a bit into it to see if there is any workaround to it. I will let you know.

Hi sorry I missed your reply.
Effector does not expose any API, so the only way would be to make the all setup in a virtual document, execute it (via ExecutePass) and then copy back the data.
But this is not an easy task since you need to take care of all the dependency of an effector (and there is again no API to help you in this purpose, so it's on you to retrieve all the stuff necessary).

Hi @Ling, the snap popup is a built-in menu, so you can't easily reproduce it however it's possible to build such a kind of menu but not with ShowPopupDialog.

If you want all features you mentioned you will need to create a CommanData plugin (registered with the c4d.PLUGINFLAG_COMMAND_STICKY flags).
Then a c4d.gui.GeDialog opened with the flags DLG_TYPE_ASYNC_POPUPEDIT to have a popup like dialog. To have the ability to dock it, you should use GeDialog.AddGadget with the c4d.DIALOG_PIN flags.
Finally to build the menu, you will need to draw it manually with a GeUserArea.

If you want more detail, please let met know,
Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi @baca, you are right you should remove the OBJECT_INPUT but this imply you need to handle them correctly.

I'm not able to reproduce the delay you mention here my code

    def GetVirtualObjects(self, op, hierarchyhelp):
        orig = op.GetDown()
        if orig is None:
            return None

        dirty = False

        trans = c4d.AliasTrans()
        if not trans or not trans.Init(op.GetDocument()):
            return False
        dic = op.GetAndCheckHierarchyClone(hierarchyhelp, orig, c4d.HIERARCHYCLONEFLAGS_ASPOLY, True, trans)
        trans.Translate(True)
        if not dic["dirty"]:
            return dic["clone"]
        if not dic["clone"]:
            return None

        main = None
        clone = dic["clone"]
        if clone.CheckType(c4d.Onull):
            main = clone
        else:
            main = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Onull)
            clone.InsertUnder(main)

        orig.Touch()

        return main

Hi @PdZ-1 welcome in plugincafe.

The type need to be one of the LayerType.
So to have a regular BaseShader you first need to create a TypeShader layer and then set the link.
Find a code snippet

import c4d


# Main function
def main():
    # Retrieveh teh Layer Shader
    mat = doc.GetFirstMaterial()
    sha_xlayer = mat.GetFirstShader()
    
    # Create an HSL layer
    hsl = sha_xlayer.AddLayer(c4d.TypeHSL)
    
    # Create a Shader Layer
    shader_layer = sha_xlayer.AddLayer(c4d.TypeShader)
    
    # Create a Gradient Shader
    gradient_shader = c4d.BaseShader(c4d.Xgradient)
    
    # Insert this gradient to the material (so the material become the owner of this shader too)
    mat.InsertShader(gradient_shader, sha_xlayer)
    
    # Finally set the Shader Layer link to the Gradient Shader
    shader_layer.SetParameter(c4d.LAYER_S_PARAM_SHADER_LINK, gradient_shader)

    c4d.EventAdd()

# Execute main()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

Hi after looking into the code this is sadly not possible to open/close a group.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi I guess setting the boolean value DESC_GUIOPEN on the group (so idAngleEdgeThreshold), should do the trick, but I'm not 100% sure if this does not work I will have a look more indepth tomorrow.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi @conductor, welcome in plugincafe

Unfortually I don't see a way to fix that. Cinema 4D is the Python Interpreter, and multiprocessing is designed to execute several instance of the current Python interpreter.

Maya and Blender have the exact same behavior than Cinema 4D.

You can somehow do it by overriding sys.executable and __file__ as explained here, but you will not be able to use any Cinema 4D API call within this MP.
Moreover it may break some other functionality so I would recommend restoring them as their default value at the end of the execution of your MP thing

Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi @orestiskon this can be done with the NOCAMERA option, see PRIORITY.
PRIORITY TEST_PRIORITY_VALUE {NOCAMERA;};

And in my case I did set within the Init the next code and it's working as expected.

        priority = c4d.PriorityData()
        priority.SetPriorityValue(c4d.PRIORITYVALUE_MODE, c4d.CYCLE_EXPRESSION)
        priority.SetPriorityValue(c4d.PRIORITYVALUE_PRIORITY, 200)
        node[TEST_PRIORITY_VALUE] = priority

The only difference with your code is that you are using priority but you created basePriority, I guess it's a copy error but if not, then I would need your entire code since I can't reproduce your issue.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi nothing changed, in this regards, however I added GetSplinePointSegment on our internal Python parity list
But even when it will be available this will not be backported.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Unfortually no you can't.

Correct, thanks for poitning it I will add a task to improve documentation of Custom GUI

Thanks for your bug report, it will be looked at but with low priority.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi @orestiskon you can combine flags like so c4d.PLUGINFLAG_HIDEPLUGINMENU | c4d.OBJECT_GENERATOR.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi would it be possible to share your .str file and also your .h file?

Moreover just to be sure you are using this Resource file for a BaseList2D description and not a GeDialog, isn'it?

One thing to remember is that group scale according to their parent, but your first unnamed group is not scaled to SCALEFIT the all content.

Cheers,
Maxime.
