Python - How to add new link fields to Tags ?

[Scott Ayers]

You are technically already accessing the container when you type out the various attributes using those [] brackets. It's the shortcut version of editing an object's container

You could create a brand new container and then fill it with attributes that you want to edit.
The Send Modeling code is an example of that kind of thing. Where you fill in your new container with MDATA options then edit them. But since you're just trying to "Set" the attributes that already exist inside the object's container. You shouldn't need to create a brand new one for what you're doing.

Here's the code with the Axis attribute set to Z+: import c4d
from c4d import gui

def main():
op = doc.GetActiveObject()
const = c4d.BaseTag(1019364) #create a constraint tag
const[c4d.ID_CA_CONSTRAINT_TAG_AIM] = 1 #Enable the aim option
const[c4d.ID_CA_CONSTRAINT_TAG_AIM_TARGET_COUNT] = 1 #Add a target
const[20004]=2 #Sets the axis option to Z+
op.InsertTag(const) #Insert the tag on the cube
c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
main()

Many thanks Scott, that was just what I needed and I understand why it works too.
Thanks again.
