Example Code

The following code does not use the correct values when setting the data. You should check directly in C4D for the correct values that you should use in place of the ones that are shown. This code is just to show you how to access the values for getting and setting the parameters.

Python

    obj = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Osphere)
    tag = obj.MakeTag(c4d.Tdriver)
    doc.InsertObject(obj)

    #You can set parameters two different ways. 
    #First way              
    tag[c4d.DRIVERTAG_DRIVERPARAMETER] = c4d.DRIVERTAG_SOURCEMODE_OFF
    tag[c4d.DRIVERTAG_DRIVERVECTORMODE] = c4d.DRIVERTAG_DRIVERVECTORMODEX
    tag[c4d.DRIVERTAG_DRIVERVECTORMIN] = 0.1
