Get a parameter at a specified BaseTime inside threaded function

#1

Hi, I’m hoping to get some help implementing this functionality, I’ve hacked together a way to do it but I’m not sure it’s the best practice. I’m using the C4D C++ SDK.

I need to evaluate a parameter of a class derived from ObjectData at a specific frame. I have a BaseTime value that stores the frame I need. The evaluation at that frame needs to happen inside the ModifyObject function, so I’m in a thread that is not (necessarily) the main execution thread. My solution so far is to use the BaseDocument::ExecutePasses function after setting the document to the BaseTime I need. However, I’m not sure this is the best solution. Is there a better way to do this?

On a related note, I get a debugbreak() after running ExecutePasses(). Is this due to something I’m doing when calling it?

Thanks in advance for any help!
