Cinema 4d R25 Macro Issues

Post by Three65 »

Hello! I have been working on creating radial menus for my C4D setup to reduce the amount of time my hand needs to be removed from my spacemouse. However I have run into a issue with creating maco's for my radial menus in C4D. Most of C4D shortcut keys consist of double letters...ie UL, UB, MO, MP, UR. I have been trying to create Macros for these shortcuts to assign to my radial menus. However the macro only seems to execute the first letter of the macro... I would think that macro should fire so quick that it would not only do one letter, but it does and this leaves me with a list of all of the U shortcut keys in C4D to choose from wanting me to enter my next letter. How would someone go about fixing this issue?

You are creating a 2 key macro in our GUI?
You might need to manually insert a Pause between the letters.

E.g., this inserts a 250ms pause:

Code: Select all

    <MacroEntry>
      <ID>Vault</ID>
      <Sequence>
        <KeyPress>E2</KeyPress>
        <KeyRelease>E2</KeyRelease>
        <Pause>250</Pause>
        <KeyPress>18</KeyPress>
        <KeyRelease>18</KeyRelease>
        <KeyPress>0A</KeyPress>
        <KeyRelease>0A</KeyRelease>
      </Sequence>
    </MacroEntry>
