The Trust to open files from forums still not increased is the "Truth", Dr.Sassi

That Level of Trust Requires a few more clarifications.

1. If you have made 700 Free tutorials and countless charitable contributions since 2004, how come Maxon does not do any live webinars with you ?
   Need to see you and study you in person in a webinar doing some Maxon Master Training on Xpresso and Mograph.
2. The need to use un-necessary circumlocituous remarks instead of giving straight answers feels like an attempt to hide something.

An Example: "Its midnight here, I still looked at the post, but... I was busy helping others, I haven't eaten breakfast"
Like you said, nobody cares, Ultimately the only thing that matters is -- the results you produce or the services you provide or the 'products you create'.

About the debugging issue, it works with big numbers between keyframes.

Thank you Dr. Sassi, you are Awesome.

[OFF-TOPIC]

Thank you Dr. Sassi

Since you brought up the Diagnosis of EGO and Psychology in a Cinema4d forum, just wanted to let you know that...

I am also a Doctor with 25+ years of experience treating drug addicts with non-compliance.
I think I definitely have to read more than 168 psychology books in the library every year to maintain my certification.
But you seem more "humbly" experienced and confident in Freudian Diagnostics with a Ph D in Cinema 4d.
Now How cool is that ?

The reason I don't keep a Doctor Prefix to my Name is because some hypocrites and bullies in some countries might call it my ego and will blatantly refuse to provide help about Cinema4d on forums, while they call themselves the "good guys" working to "bring creativity & change to the world" but then somehow live like they are "above the law".

Anyways, Thank you for baring the hidden Psyche and Work Ethics of Cineversity.
Thank you for soft bullying with Empathy.
Above all Thank you for your inclusion of diversity and multiculturalism.

You are Awesome. Now back to Cinema4d
Cheers.

Thank you Dr. Sassi.
The Sun hadn't risen in our part of the primitive world and my work had not ended since the last reply, hence the late reply.

That feeling of how others will feel is called EMPATHY.
Having studied in US for 5 years, it's just my muscle memory to counter intimidation with a taste of their medicine to invoke empathy.
I sincerely hope your Declaration of Free Speech on Cineversity means the empathetic forum experts won't make the newbies run around in circles, which is common bullying practice in other 3D Software Forums. As a Newbie, I already feel safe on Cineversity and shall spread the word around the world about this.

I do hereby swear that I would absolutely keep the posts to the tools and functions and creative aspects.
Thank you for understanding.
Thank you.

Thank you Dr. Sassi.

Am a character animator/actor+director for an ad company and love to pick up behavioural traits from people around me to give LIFE to my characters. We act out our characters before creating them whether they are live characters or cartoon characters. When I write "no hard feelings", it's a disclaimer that I have found an interesting character with an interesting behavioural identity. Everything is seen through the eyes of a Cartoon Character Animator. Please don't try to interpret words to find meaning outside the intended meaning of what I meant.

Thank you for your understanding. Thank you.
Take Care.

@Dr-Sassi
Thank you for the reply Dr. Sassi. That was awesome job. Hope the post reached you when it was not midnight there, when you could have been busy packing up to go home for the day.

Unfortunately, One Forward frame made no difference. Clicks made no difference either. Somehow the stupid thing is working now, though the Result values do not update. At the time of the post the result was not Hooked up to the driven attribute. Now that it is connected, the driven attribute works its just the values do not update.

Could have posted a file, but if you made changes to the file and asked me to open it without explaining it, It would be useless, because I don't know if you can be trusted (from a security perspective).

Perhaps I should post a file, so it might be useful for someone encountering the same problem ? Please advise if that's the SOP/Community-Guidelines to promote Good Karma on Cineversity.

NB: Please have No hard feelings, your photo looks like an Honest Innocent German Smiling Genius. Saying Genius cuz I have seen some of your Xpresso tuts on Cineversity from 2006-ish, the only thing I could understand was your Introduction, the rest of the videos looked like a presentation by Albert Einstein that Whizzed past my down-to-earth intelligence - ie, I couldn't understand a thing :). It Felt like "Steven Shapiro's made up language Prank" on YouTube.

Guess Position.Y is "local" position so if the piston is placed inside a parent object like a null it updates values when the piston moves down.

For a Piston Mesh box modelled from a cube, was trying to figure out if the Piston is moving up in Y or moving down in Y between a min - 70 and max 150

Used the Xpresso network as shown above. Somehow the Piston Object always outputs the same value attributes Position.Y and PreviousPosition.Y

Example: When Piston moves down, and P.Y is set to 70 from 150, Previous position instead of outputting 150, outputs 70

How can I fix this ?

Tech support for cinema4d is useless.
With a turn around time of 2 business days, they will just make you run around in circles.

But this is trend that is noticed with several other "Closed Source" software. Unity 3D being the prime example. They push out buggy regional versions so people in "DVD Region 6 and above" will get a lower quality software, but the company will still utilise the indie users workflow to promote their preferred regions. (They call it "Analytics to improve the Software" When we worked with unity 2D we had a system that had the software from Australia and another one from India. Somehow the Indian version software had Game engine tweaks so the Game will not run properly. Don't know if Cinema4d has the same strategy. But if it does, It will be Karma if Blender kills Cinema4d in the future.

As usual, I am not sure if you understand what I was trying to say.
The forum does not allow videos else could have shown a screen cap video.

With "New Layout" [OFF] the custom Layout tab can be repositioned using drag and drop.
When "New Layout [ON], it snaps back to then last in the list of layout tabs.

Also it's super confusing there is a button to upload an image, when adding a Post. But it does not allow sizes greater than 500px. To upload an "Image" for the Post, we have to use the "File upload" button. Overcomplicating things.

I did save them.

Example : Modified Standard Layout with Help in a split window and saved as Standard(H). Now if I unhide the Original Standard layout and drag the custom layout to its position, it works only if "New Layouts" toggle is turned OFF

With the "New Layout" Toggle button, the Custom Layout cannot be rearranged with drag and drop.
