Hi, i need to execut some functions from my script everytime when user change something in one user data field. Im just a beginer in python sdk and i dont understand very well how it works but i thought a little and i made for my userdata field that i want to listen a clone and i hide it from script(just to store the old value) and i compare always with main field. If something changed i do something. In may case i just change the value of chekbutton.
here my script:
import c4d
def main() :
obj = op.GetObject() #get an object with python tag
ud = obj.GetUserDataContainer() #get an userdata container
ud[2][1][c4d.DESC_HIDE] = True #hide my field copy
obj.SetUserDataContainer(ud[2][0], ud[2][1])
new = obj[c4d.ID_USERDATA,1] #value of my filed that i want to listen
old = obj[c4d.ID_USERDATA,3] #value of clone
if old != new:
obj[c4d.ID_USERDATA,2] = 1 - obj[c4d.ID_USERDATA,2] #change value of radiobutton to oposite
obj[c4d.ID_USERDATA,3] = new #store value of my field to cloneSo it works well but it looks like a trick. Is there other method to listen a change in userdata filed?

Hello,
what exactly do you mean with "script"? Do you mean a script that is stored and executed from the Script Manager? A script in the Script Manager can only be executed from that Script Manager, it cannot be triggered by an event.
Or is your script stored in a Python Tag? Then the best way would be indeed to store the old value in another user data field and compare it with the current value.
Best wishes,

You can store the old value without an additional user data field.
import c4d G = {} def main() : value = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA, 1] if value != G.get('old_value') : # Value changed or first time the script is run (eg. if # the scene was just opened). G['old_value'] = valueBest,
