Ah, you probably expect the toroids to also rotate around their own axis

exactly. Thanks

@m_adam said in Using Python Node to Traverse Deep Hierarchy... fail:

The main issue is Python GvNode is not designed to work as an iteration node

Thanks. That answers my question.

In the attached example, I am using a Python Node to traverse a hierarchy, and although I can print the name of each child in the console, the OutputObject refuses to pass through and affect the next Object node. What am I missing here?
How do I force the object to "export" inside the while loop.
If that's not possible, what's the easiest way to do that hierarchy traversing?

@m_magalhaes
Oh man... thank you so much. Even when I read your reply, I couldn't "see" it in the Node... was staring at it for to long.
thanks.

Python Hierarchy Node 11A.c4d As I'm trying to understand how to use a Python Node in XPRESSO, I did this very simple setup. All I want is for the "OutputObject" to be the same as the "Input1" but I keep getting an error: "NameError: Could not find port value for 'OutputObject' in node 'Python iterate Hierarchy'."

Can someone explain this please?
Cheers

@m_adam Great info. Thanks Maxime!

So, I did a bit more research after searching broader in the forum and here's a script that prints out the GetInfo() about the tag:

import c4d
def main():

    tags    = op.GetTags()

    for tag in tags:
        if not tag: continue
        print tag
        if tag.GetInfo() & c4d.TAG_VISIBLE:
            print "visible"
            
        if tag.GetInfo() & c4d.TAG_HIERARCHICAL:
            print "hierarchical"        
        
        if tag.GetInfo() & c4d.TAG_EXPRESSION:
            print "expression"
            
        if tag.GetInfo() & c4d.TAG_TEMPORARY:
            print "temporary"
            
        if tag.GetInfo() & c4d.TAG_MODIFYOBJECT:
            print "modifyObject"

        if tag.GetInfo() & c4d.TAG_ADDTOTAKEGROUP:
            print "add to take group"
      
    c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

A common friend was looking into a way to copy tags from one object to another using Python,
It appears that we have invisible tags, tags that can't have more than one of the same type e.t.c.
As far as I was told, we can use GetInfo() to get some of this information from the tag. The problem is that searching for "GetInfo()" won't return a result in either the Python or C++ documentation, and I can't find a list of what the info returns.
Is there somewhere I can look?

Thanks

I have a script that takes 5 hours to do something :-)
I wouldn't mind it taking 5 hours / 12

Thank you for the information. I'll put it to good use... and let you know when I fail!
