(Hi) I was wondering if its possible to create a CollectionProperty
(collection_custom_objects
) that contains, lets say a class CustomObject(PropertyGroup)
, and then fill the collection with different objects that inherits that CustomObject(PropertyGroup)
class?
For example, if we have:
# Base class
class CustomObject(PropertyGroup):
...
# Derived Classes
class ObjectA(CustomObject):
...
class ObjectB(CustomObject):
...
Is it possible to fill/add to the property with Objects of type ObjectA and/or ObjectB?
As far as I know, if we call collection_custom_objects.add()
, we would be adding CustomObject
objects.
I tried casting the item that collection_custom_objects.add()
returns, like:
item = collection_custom_objects.add() # type(item) = CustomObject class
item = ObjectA(item) # If I print now type(item), I got "ObjectA class"
But when I get manually from the console that element previously added, it says its type is "CustomObject", and it calls the functions from "CustomObject", not from ObjectA.
So, I was wondering if this is something doable and I'm doing something wrong, or if it is not possible and I should give up this approach?
(Thank you so much for reading and for the help)
