@m_adam Thanks for clarifying!

Thanks! @m_adam it worked but I'm just curious why we needed to specify the fixed clone mode to False?

Hi, bit of a newb question. When changing a setting on an object this used to work:

obj[c4d.MG_LINEAR_OBJECT_POSITION,c4d.VECTOR_Y] = 0.0

But now it doesn't, it keeps getting an unexpected type error even though the type should be a float.
I read the sdk saying to use the "original set method" to avoid type errors but I'm not sure what the original method would be?

Thanks Bach! I knew it was going to be something simple like that.

Hi, I'm trying to copy a shader from one material to another. I know how to set the other material to the same type of shader but I don't know how to copy it exactly? for example if the noise parameters were tweaked on the texture we're copying.
The code assumes 2 materials are selected for coping the shader.

#Get the type of shader from 1st Material
shaderType = c4d.BaseList2D(mat[0][c4d.MATERIAL_LUMINANCE_SHADER].GetType()) 

#Set shader to same type on 2nd
mat[1].InsertShader(shaderType)
mat[1][c4d.MATERIAL_ALPHA_SHADER] = shaderType

@C4DS Thank your reply! I had to come back to this because I had problems with switching back to object context and this solved that!

Thank you!
doc.SetActiveTag() was the key.
doc.SetSelection() was not switching it over to tag mode.

I am selecting tags on an object with python and once the selection is set the attribute manager doesn't update with the tag's attributes. It will if you only have any tag selected before the selection but if an object is selected or nothing is selected the attribute manager won't display anything when the tag is selected:/

Any idea how to get the tag's properties to show up without manually selecting it?

Here is simplified code to illustrate the issue. If you just make a cube primitive and select it this code will select the phong tag. But again the properties of the phong tag dont show up.

import c4d
from c4d import gui

def main():
    obj = doc.GetActiveObject()
    tags = obj.GetTags()
    doc.SetSelection(tags[0])
    c4d.EventAdd()
    
# Execute main()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

@a_block It was the ID. I did use a random number, apparently one too many. I didn't think it would matter for testing but I guess I was wrong! I figured it would be something dumb like that. It was just weird it pointed me to that line for the error. And yes sorry my code snippet was confusing, I thought it was standard practice to put RegisterObjectPlugin on multiple lines for easier reading.

Thanks again!

Cinema is complaining about this line of code in my RegisterObjectPlugin function saying "Signed Integer is greater then maximum":

info=c4d.OBJECT_GENERATOR | c4d.OBJECT_ISSPLINE)

I even referenced a working spline plugin and it's the same.
I tried looking the error up and I still have no idea why it thinks this is an issue, any ideas?
