Parameter Description Access not working as expected

ferdinand

Hi,

welcome to the forum. If I understand your posting correctly, your question is how to test if a description parameter has been modified in respect to its default value. Your code is almost there, but you probably misconstrued c4d.DESC_DEFAULT as a boolean indicating a changed value, but it is actually the actual default value. So to test if the parameter has been modified, it would be something like this:

description = node.GetDescription(c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_0)
for bc, descid, _ in description:
    # Test if the current value is identical to the default value.
    is_default = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT] == node[descid]

Correct, I understood it as indicating a changed value. Good to know. These are the nuances I am still adjusting to with C4D python. Thanks for the answer and explanation. I will give this a go tomorrow when I’m back on my machine. I appreciate your help.

Hi,

after reading your reply I realised, that I probably should have also mentioned that Cinema has a dirty system, which will let you check if an object has been modified. It is scattered over multiple classes, but most of it is attached to C4DAtom, with the major method being C4DAtom.GetDirty.

@zipit So I have tried implementing your check for DESC_DEFAULT and I am still not getting values for default.

#.....Snippet from my script, full code at bottom of post.
        #Process tag parameters
        desc = o.GetDescription(c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_0)
        for bc, paramid, groupid in desc:
            
            #Check if current value matches default value
            is_default = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT] == o[paramid]
            
            #print both values for visual comparison
            print "DEBUG:: " + str(bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]) + " == " + str(o[paramid]) + " --> " + str(is_default)
            
            if is_default is not True:
#.....

As an example I am currently using a simple Null object for testing the default functionality. Changing only the Object > Display parameter to see if my code catches if it is set to default or not. The print output is like this so far. For simplicity I've only posted the Object Properties results.

Object Properties
DEBUG:: None == 0 --> False
	Display	0
DEBUG:: None == 10.0 --> False
	Radius	10.0
DEBUG:: None == 10.0 --> False
	Aspect Ratio	10.0
DEBUG:: None == 0 --> False
	Orientation	0

I would expect this debug result to read as this since all parameters are at their defaults.

Object Properties
DEBUG:: 0 == 0 --> True
DEBUG:: 10.0 == 10.0 --> True
DEBUG:: 10.0 == 10.0 --> True
DEBUG:: 0 == 0 --> True
#...

...but bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT] is continuously returning None for some reason. What am I missing here? Thanks again for any assistance on this.

Here is my full script code currently. I cleaned up a lot from previous build as it was getting very messy. The param name/value retrieval is now it's own function (def):

import c4d

    o = op
    if o is not None:
        recurse(o)

        grpName = ""
        
        #Process tag parameters
        desc = o.GetDescription(c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_0)
        for bc, paramid, groupid in desc:
            
            #Check if current value matches default value
            is_default = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT] == o[paramid]
            
            #print both values for visual comparison
            print "DEBUG:: " + str(bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]) + " == " + str(o[paramid]) + " --> " + str(is_default)
            
            if is_default is not True:
                isgroup = paramid[0].dtype==c4d.DTYPE_GROUP
                if isgroup:
                    #handle blank names

Hi,

the problem you are running into, is that the default value is an optional description element flag. If no such flag has been provided by the author who wrote the description markup, the element will fall back to the internal default value of that type (e.g. 0 for an integer). This value however won't be reflected in the DESC_DEFAULT field of a Description object, it will return None in this case, like you experienced it in your tests.

You would have to either handle that case manually or use the dirty checksums that I did mention. The problem there is that you can test the data container of a node for being dirty, i.e. its parameters, and by that detect if a parameter has been modified, but not exactly which one of the parameters has been modified.

Hmmm, bummer. Ya the whole goal was to only return parameters not at default value. I've made similar scripts for Houdini, and After Effects. Cinema4D was my last holdout.

I'll take a look at the dirty checksums. If I can at least tell if something was changed, it's better than nothing I guess.

Thanks again for the help.

Still far from being fully fleshed out, but could prove helpful to others in some form possibly. It's totally specific to my needs so I make no claims of it's longevity, stability, or usability for anyone else's needs.

The script prints to the console a tab delimited list of all project objects beginning with a selected object. It then loops downwards through all objects, object parameters, tags, and tag parameters gathering names & values. Choose top most object in your project to get all items in your project.

Here's the code I'm settling on for the moment. I did a few common parameter conversions from numerical value to it's string value seen in the UI.

Example 1: Toggle switches return "Unchecked" / "Checked" instead or 0 / 1
Example 2: Visible in Editor / Renderer return "On" / "Off" / "Default" instead of 0 / 1 / 2

Hi,

thanks for sharing, it is always nice if someone does that. I haven't red all your code and also did not run it, but I think the following points should be made:

# You should not type test like that, because it is bound to go wrong at
# some point.
if "Vector" in str(vec):
    pass

# Either do this, which will test for 'vec' being exactly of type c4d.Vector
# or c4d.Vector4d:
if type(vec) in (c4d.Vector, c4d.Vector4d):
    pass
# Or do this, which will test if 'vec' is also of type c4d.Vector or 
# c4d.Vector4d, i.e. is respecting polymorphism. Which does not make much 
# sense here, since both Vector and Vector4d are atomic types. 
# This however is the recommended approach to type tesing in Python, because 
# usually you want and need to respect polymorphism.
if isinstance(vector, (c4d.Vector, c4d.Vector4d)):
    pass
            
                                    
# Also your string handling is more complicated than it needs to be (you should
# also stick to PEP8, specifically the line length here):
val = ("Vector(" + str(vec[0]*255) + ", " + str(vec[1]*255) + ", " + str(vec[2]*255) + ")")

# Use Pythons string formating instead, the values will be put in consecutive
# order into the curly brackets. There is a whole string formating mini
# language, which will allow you to do all sorts of stuff, like aligning text,
# converting between number formats and more. Check the Python docs on the

@zipit Thanks! All great points. I was trying to check for instance of object initially, but was failing to find the correct syntax in this case. I got impatient and started hacking together solutions that still function even if not optimized/ideal.

I am so use to Adobe ExtendScript which is JavaScript based and Houdini VEX which is more python/JavaScript like, and their hscript which is Python based. So C4D python syntax can be just close enough to drive me nuts when I don’t find the correct answer. I’ve struggled with C4D python for a long time too. The docs really get confusing fast (for me at least)

One thing that helped me with Adobe ExtendScript is the object model graph they have in the docs. It showed the object flow hierarchy and each class name. So it was super easy to find every method and attribute associated with each. Almost linear in nature. I think also what help most was the object naming though, it matched more with the front end naming, so it was easy to connect the dots. That’s mostly where I struggle in the C4D docs, and confusion sets in fast for me. Like BaseContainer, Atom, Description, etc... I see the App > Object Panel > Object > Parameter > Value (as a very basic example)

Granted I never took a traditional route for learning coding, and am self taught.

Thanks again for the tips you keep mentioning. I really appreciate it.

Hi sorry to come late to the party, so to answers your initial questions:

DESC_CHANGED is only defined for intcustomgui (also used for float value) when the value is changed, so it's not as helpful as one may think.
DESC_DEFAULT, as said by zipit it's to the object, to properly set the default value, otherwise, you will get the default DataType value which may not be the default value of an object.

So I took another way to extract what changed and what not changed, by simply creating a new object and check the changed value. This also supports tag additions.

import c4d

class Parameter(object):
    # Represent a parameter
    def __init__(self, paramIdent, paramName, paramValue):
        self.paramIdent = paramIdent
        self.paramName = paramName
        self.paramValue = paramValue

    def __str__(self):
        return '"{1}", c4d.{0} {2}'.format(self.paramIdent, self.paramName, self.paramValue)
    
    def __repr__(self):
        return str(self)
        

def GetChangedParameter(bl2D):
    # Retrieve the changed parameter, by creating the BaseList2D and comparing the description and value
    
    # Create an object with default value
    cls = bl2D.__class__
    blTypeId = bl2D.GetType()
    
    newBl2D = cls(blTypeId)
    newBl2D.Message(c4d.MSG_MENUPREPARE, None)

    changedParams = []  # Will contains all the changed Parameter
    unwantedIds = [c4d.ID_BASELIST_ICON_COLOR, 
      c4d.ID_MG_MOTIONGENERATOR_EFFECTORLIST]  # List of excluded parameter because they are always different
    
    # Iterate teh description of the existing obj
    description = bl2D.GetDescription(c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_0)
    for bc, paramId, groupId in description:
        # if we dont want to deal with this parameter continue the loop
        if paramId[0].id in unwantedIds:
            continue
        
        # Ignore group
        if paramId[0].dtype == c4d.DTYPE_GROUP:
            continue
        
        # If a parameter is not within the newly created, something went wrong
        if not description.CheckDescID(paramId, [newBl2D]):
            raise ValueError("{0} not found in the created instance".format(paramId))
        
        # Try excecute, because some Datatype are not present in Python
        # here we retrieve the value of the parameter in the scene Bl2D and the newly created
        try:
            bl2DValue = bl2D[paramId]
            newBl2DValue = newBl2D[paramId]
            
            # If they are not equal, append a new parameter in the changedParams list
            if bl2DValue != newBl2DValue:
                newParam = Parameter(bc[c4d.DESC_IDENT], bc[c4d.DESC_NAME], bl2DValue)
                changedParams.append(newParam)
        except:
            pass
        
    return changedParams

Regarding the Python documentation, we are of course looking to improve it, so if you have any advice, please feel free to give us. Just a side note each class you can see the parent class and children classes, so you can quickly find all the methods of a class. Here an example for the BaseList2D class

Cheers,

@m_adam Wow, thanks Maxime for the explanation and code. I was not expecting that amount of effort.

I ran the code and encountered two errors so far. I believe one may be App version related possibly, and the other I am unsure.

So first the section in your GetChangedParameter function

 # List of excluded parameter because they are always different
unwantedIds = [c4d.ID_BASELIST_ICON_COLOR,
                         c4d.ID_MG_MOTIONGENERATOR_EFFECTORLIST]

I get this attribute error

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ID_BASELIST_ICON_COLOR'

I am assuming this may be an ID added after R20. I am still using R20 for context. Once I remove it from the list the rest of the code will execute.

The second error I get is when encountering any polygon object. For example you can throw down any primitive shape and make it editable to test this.

When a polygon object is encounter this type error is thrown:

TypeError: Required argument 'vcnt' (pos 2) not found

My guess is that since it's a polygon object (which could be a native primitive made editable or a custom geometry imported by user) C4D has no direct reference to recreate the object in a default state?

So far those are the only two issues I have come across.

m_adam

Hi @davidtorno sorry I overlooked the version in the post tag.
You are right ID_BASELIST_ICON_COLOR was added in R21. So you could remove it.

Regarding the second issue, you are also right, a PolygonObject/SplineObject have no history at all, so you can't trace them, even modeling operation done on them can't be retrieved at least by the way I propose.
You could do a SceneHook(only available in C++) to monitor the change made by a tool by listening to EVMSG_CHANGE (triggered when a EventAdd is processed) figured out if a polygon object changed (by iterating over each scene object, and checking their dirty bits), then retrieve the current tool and parameters, but as you can see it's a pretty complex task.

So in your case I would suggest to simply ignore edited object (so PolygonObject and SplineObject) by editing ignoredObjs variable like so

ignoredObjs = [c4d.Opolygon, c4d.Opoint, c4d.Ospline, c4d.Oline]

Cheers,
Maxime.
