How can I make a custom UI widget, using Blender Python, which cannot be animated by the user?
-->
I've looked on the docs but can't find reference to 'preventing' animation.

$\begingroup$ Why would you want to do that? What problem are you trying to solve? $\endgroup$– Ron JensenJan 23, 2022 at 6:49

$\begingroup$ I have a script that adds a speaker every X-amount of frames. It's the property for that X-amount that I want to prevent from being animated. Animating it doesn't change how the speakers are made, it just uses the value when the script was started, so being able to animate that value just confuses things. $\endgroup$– CandleJan 23, 2022 at 7:10

By default, props has ANIMATABLE option. Just override it by passing empty set:
Frame: bpy.props.IntProperty(
name = "frame",
default = 0,
options = set()
)

$\begingroup$ Thank you, modifying this a little has appeared to have fixed it. Instead of
[]I usedoptions = {'HIDDEN'}and it appears to be working. $\endgroup$– CandleJan 23, 2022 at 11:29 -
$\begingroup$ I just found that I've used
:instead of '='. That was a mistake. But yes, I can mess up with the names: list, array, set, dictionary, etc... $\endgroup$– CrantiszJan 23, 2022 at 11:29 -

$\begingroup$ A direction's sometimes better than an answer since it leads you to think for yourself. I'll mark the answer correct; could change it to
{'HIDDEN'}? $\endgroup$– CandleJan 23, 2022 at 11:33 -
2$\begingroup$ I've checked, seems to be that Gorgious's comment is correct. Changing to
set()$\endgroup$– CrantiszJan 23, 2022 at 11:43
