Hi, I am trying to create a script that will reset all the userdata under a userdata group back to their defaults. I am a Python beginner. Any suggestions as to how I would go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So far I have this:

import c4d
for id, bc in op.GetUserDataContainer() :
try:
op[id] = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]
except TypeError:
#No or invalid default value.
pass

c4d.EventAdd()

But this resets all the userdata and I want to reset only the userdata within a specific userdata group.

Hello,

if you just want to reset the userdata of a specific userdata group you have to check if a given userdata parameter is part of that group. You can access DESC_PARENTGROUP to get the ID of the parent group. So your code could look something like this:

  
  for id, bc in op.GetUserDataContainer() :  
  
      if bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP][-1].id == 2:  
          op[id] = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]

Best wishes,
Sebastian

Hi
I test code and simple print to dive in to level

    for id, bc in op.GetUserDataContainer() :  
      print bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP][-1].id  
      if bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP][-1].id == 700:  
          op[id] = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]

i have id in level = 700.

Try such, code works for me

If I try this code from the Script Manager, it works and only userdata from group 255 is reset but when it is on a Python tag, it doesn't. Any suggestions?

import c4d

for id, bc in op.GetUserDataContainer() :

if bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP][-1].id == 255:
try:
op[id] = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]
except TypeError:
#No or invalid default value.
pass

c4d.EventAdd()

For a Python Tag, "op" is the Tag, not the Object. Use the variable "obj" in all places instead of "op" and add "obj = op.GetObject()" beforehand.

Thanks, Niklas, that totally worked! The last thing I need and can't get to work is the switch. Here is what I have:

import c4d

obj = op.GetObject()
ID_RESET_Iceland = 39

def main() :

for id, bc in obj.GetUserDataContainer() :

if bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP][-1].id == 255:

if obj[c4d.ID_USERDATA, ID_RESET_Iceland]:
obj[c4d.ID_USERDATA, ID_RESET_Iceland] = False

try:
obj[id] = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]
except TypeError:
#No or invalid default value.
pass

c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
main()

Try this instead

ID_RESET_Iceland = 39
        
def main() :
    obj = op.GetObject()
    if not obj[c4d.ID_USERDATA, ID_RESET_Iceland]:
        return

Don't use that __name__ == "__main__" part in a Python Tag

One problem, the script keeps looping after I activate the reset button. Is there a way to stop it?

Figured that out. Moved c4d.EventAdd() out of the for loop. But now it resets regardless of whether or not the reset switch is activated.

import c4d
ID_RESET_Iceland = 39

def main() :
obj = op.GetObject()
if not obj[c4d.ID_USERDATA, ID_RESET_Iceland]:

try:
obj[id] = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]
