The Soft Robots plugin is really nice.

Is there a C++ Controller equivalent to the PythonScriptController utilized in that plugin?

Tagging you @Hugo.

Hi @lakehanne

Usually C++ controllers tend to disappear with the growth of the Python scripting. This is due to the fact that Python allows for an easy, live scripting providing a maximum freedom to the user. On the other hand, C++ requires C++ coding, compilation and a controller usually implements one “controlling” feature.

If you implemented your own ForceField, it should work fine with SofaPython, since the forcefield class has already been bound.

For controller examples in C++, you can take a look at MechanicalStateController (in modules/SofaUserInteraction). There, you could implement the function handleEvent() (handling the respective events: onBeginAnimationStep and onEndAnimationStep).

Best,

Hugo
