Hi Ferdinand,

Thanks a lot for the clear explanation and for taking the time to share the code. The part about accessing BaseVideoPost and using REDSHIFT_RENDERER_EMISSION_ENABLE was spot on. Exactly what I needed. Works perfectly!

Really appreciate it.

Anthony

Hi Ilia,

Thanks a lot for the quick and clear reply!

That makes sense. I had a feeling it might be a limitation of the current API. I’ll definitely follow up with the Redshift team on their forum to confirm whether there’s any workaround or future support planned for accessing those fields.

Appreciate your help and the reference to the related thread!

Cheers,
Anthony

@ferdinand said in SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_AUTOSAVE still added to the recent file list?:

But please provide instructions on how to use your code when required in the future.

oh shit, i'm so sorry. you're right. completly missed this one. 😬
...
and of cause thanks for the explaination / clarification.

@ferdinand said in How to simulate a drag behavior with UA?:

All it it does when the users starts to drag, according to Maxime, is inject the asset object into the document, make sure there is no object selected and then enable the place tool (and probably set the mouse cursor)

This is my solution in my mind, definitely take a try after work. 👏

Hi @Gregor-M please make sure that your script is executable before sending it to us. Since in it's current state it does raise

Traceback (most recent call last): File "scriptmanager", line 53, in GetDown File "scriptmanager", line 33, in GetChildren AttributeError: 'Entity' object has no attribute 'children'. Did you mean: 'GetChildren'?

I added self.children = [] within the __init__ of Entity and it fixed the issue but this indicate that you are working on a different version than us. But even with it I'm not able to reproduce any issue and everything is working as expected.

With that's said your else statement within the SetCheck looks very suspicious and I won't be surprised that the behavior you are experiencing is coming from this else statement.

Finally note that you can call the function TreeViewCustomGui.SetRoot to define a root. Then the root argument that is available in all functions will be pointing to it.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hey @skibinvitaliy,

Welcome to the Maxon developers forum and its community, it is great to have you with us!

Getting Started

Before creating your next postings, we would recommend making yourself accustomed with our forum and support procedures. You did not do anything wrong, we point all new users to these rules.

Forum Overview: Provides a broad overview of the fundamental structure and rules of this forum, such as the purpose of the different sub-forums or the fact that we will ban users who engage in hate speech or harassment. Support Procedures: Provides a more in detail overview of how we provide technical support for APIs here. This topic will tell you how to ask good questions and limits of our technical support. Forum Features: Provides an overview of the technical features of this forum, such as Markdown markup or file uploads.

It is strongly recommended to read the first two topics carefully, especially the section Support Procedures: How to Ask Questions.

About your First Question

No one is judging you here, problems are part of the game and what we are here for to help with 🙂 . But please familiarize yourself with our forum rules, such question should be accompanied by example code and the version you are migrating from, as we otherwise mostly have to guess what is going wrong.

I am assuming you are migrating from a pre-2025 SDK, that is at least what your errors imply. With 2025 we introduced our cinema namespace. Please follow our Migrating Plugins to the 2025.0 API guide. You are likely just missing a couple of using namespace cinema; at the top of your files.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hi Sebastian,

correct, it hasn't been included into 2025.2.0. The next minor release will likely have it fixed though.

Cheers,
Ilia

Hi sorry I fixed my code.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Thanks, I'll test Dirty on selection.

Hi @BigRoy,

Please check our Support Procedures in regards of the question structure, namely:

Singular Question: The initial posting of a support topic must contain a singular question. Do not ask ten things at once, that makes it extremely hard to answer topics. Break up your questions into multiple topics. Asking follow-up questions is allowed but they must be bound to the initial subject.

Singular Subject: From all this follows that a topic must have a singular and sparse subject tied to a specific problem. 'My Nodes API Questions' is not a valid topic as it splits up into too many subtopics. A valid subject could be 'accessing node attributes' or 'traversing a node graph'. One could for example first ask 'how to get the name attribute of a node?' and then ask a follow up question about 'how to get the icon attribute too?'. This specifically applies to plugins, just because you have two problems with one plugin does not mean that they should be asked in the same topic.

Regarding you question, there's no high level API that allows you to get a list of all files you've mentioned at once. This effectively means that not only do you need to access this yourself, but you also need to do so for the render engines you'd like to support, as these are likely going to differ among them.

Specifically for the Redshift AOVs and output files question, please check related threads:

get the names of redshift multi passes AOV names from the render settings Add Expression Value in Render Settings Save Path

As for the takes, the only application where they make any sense is the Render Queue. If you're not using it, it's only the active take that's being rendered. Of course you can deal with it by using SetCurrentTake function.

I suggest you keeping this thread for the "render output files" part of your initial question and encourage you to make separate postings for your other questions that diverse from this topic here.

Cheers,
Ilia

Thank you @ferdinand for the help!

Write raw memory does help a lot, appreciate!

thanks @ferdinand this makes perfect sense now. I appreciate the time you took to explaint he best practice.

Hey @qq475519905,

sorry for the delay. As I said in the beginning, you can implement your own serializer using GoZ. But there is no dedicated exporter API in ZScript. I assume you are using some RoutineCall to achieve what you are doing. You cannot escape any GUI associated with such call.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

I use this to Thank You Ferdinand.

This is how I imagine an SDK example should look like .... a simplest version , an altered simple version and a complex touching the boundaries of the subject.
I am thankful and praise your work .... !

cheers mogh

Oh, you've edited your previous message! Thanks! I will try it.

@m_adam thanks for your prompt response. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you very much for all your detailed explanation, @ferdinand!

Thank you for @Dunhou answer. It was ultimately completed in JSON format
