@m_adam Thank you for your answer. C++ documentation have a "Example" show how to use flags in CAMorph.SetMode, but python documentation not (at least in R21.022), i compared the C++ code with Python, then went back to the C++ documentation and found this.

RE: This is a limitation you also have with the visual selector

Not really. You can multiple select hotspots and/or controllers in the visual selector.

Anyhow, thanks for the response. I guess there is no way around this.

hi,

I had a look but as @zipit said, there's not way in python.

Cheers,

Hi @JohnThomas , the data passed in the method is actually carrying the destination object.

The code should look like

... if (type == MSG_EDITABLE_END) { BaseObject* dstObject = static_cast<BaseObject*>(data); if (!dstObject) return false; BaseObject* child = dstObject->GetDown(); if (child) { child->Remove(); BaseObject::Free(child); } } ...

Cheers, R

Thank you very much @zipit ! That works great.

Thank you very much, Manuel!
This is a working solution for the issue and it helped me a lot!

Best regards,
Tim

hi,
I can't reproduce that, what version are you using ?

the only moment where a coordinates could be 0 is if the point and the object's pivot are sharing the same coordinates AND you have the "Enable Axis" enable.
(or you are in object's rel or abs coordinate and the point is at the same position of the pivot's object.
As if you were at the same time in object's mode and in point mode. (moving the object's pivot point and the modeling axis at the same time)

So this look like a bug.

by the way, what do you call the "default state" ? The last modeling axis position ? the position when you selected the polygon ?

Cheers,
Manuel

This is fixed in R23.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Thank you! 🙂

@m_magalhaes Hi Manuel! Thanks for the update.

@r_gigante

Thanks for the response and the website reference.
I was able to work the code with the following revisions:

def CoreMessage(self, id, bc): if id == 1234: P1MSG_UN = bc.GetVoid(c4d.BFM_CORE_PAR1) pythonapi.PyCObject_AsVoidPtr.restype = c_int pythonapi.PyCObject_AsVoidPtr.argtypes = [py_object] P1MSG_EN = pythonapi.PyCObject_AsVoidPtr(P1MSG_UN) # check message and act if (P1MSG_EN == 1): c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument().InsertObject(c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Ocube)) elif (P1MSG_EN == 2): c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument().InsertObject(c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Osphere))

Thanks again. Will close this thread now.

@m_adam Thanks for your help. Apologies for not following the rules. I'm struggling with the rules of Python at the moment so it's not surprising! Will try to be a better poster in future.

Hi @m_magalhaes

Ah gotcha. I guess I can't change the deformer's priority.
Anyhow. Thanks for the confirmation.

@m_adam
Thanks. You are right. It didn't exceed 5GB. I guess 5GB is when it is uncompressed.
I was able to build the plug-ins now.

@adam_k_garner said in R23 plugin windows 10 error:

. Any idea why this ONE person had the issue on Windows 10?

I've move your other question to a new post. Let's try to fix your issue there if we can help
Cheers,
Manuel

@zipit said in Unable to Set Priority Data for Skin Deformer:

probably overlooked

correct, friday evening

It's working! 😄 Thank you @zipit , @r_gigante , & @m_adam ! Have an excellent weekend.

A note for future readers
One issue with my demo code is I wasn't passing the op from GetVirtualObjects to the CreateMyObject method. @m_adam created a new object (newObj) and only calls GetTag on the op (variable name: node).

phongTag = node.GetTag(c4d.Tphong)

After a LOT of testing around I finally found the culprit.
The header file was encoded UTF-8 with BOM. I finally figured it out after noticing that two versions of the header file that worked or didn't work had a 3 byte difference in file size. No idea how that snuck in there, but now it finally works.
Also now it makes sense that the error was pointing to line 1.

@zipit

Sorry, it embarrassingly didn't occur to me that your file example was working because I didn't see the Selection Tags as with the Generators. Thanks again for it! For the best user experience, there would be a proxy tag so the user can link & reference it by name. @m_magalhaes , any updates on the SetRealTag implementation in the SDK? I created a request for the SDK here: SetRealTag Request

Thank you.
