I have a PropertyGroup Class called PPP, like the Collection Example on this page: http://www.blender.org/documentation/blender_python_api_2_63_release/bpy.props.html

The problem is that one of the properties in the PPP class, pfloat calls an update function "update_func"

I need to be able to tell which ppp has been changed when the update_func is called, normally you would use self to determine it but that does not seem to work it just returns: PPP("")

Any Ideas / what am I doing wrong?

I can't tell whether it's a known limitation or bug, but it definately returns the reference to the CollectionProperty only.

You need a concept of one element in the collection being "active", e.g. have an IntProperty alongside and use it for a template_list() for instance. Then use that number to get the right item:

self[context.scene.ppp_index].pfloat = 1.23

There's actually a reference to the CollectionProperty item returned,
see https://developer.blender.org/T39798

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you for the help. I have experimented with using Lambda it create the update_func If i can get that to work I might post it as an answer. Otherwise I will mark this as correct if I get no better answers or make no progress. $\endgroup$ – MCHammond Apr 19 '14 at 18:38
  • $\begingroup$ You should contact the python module owners and ask if a property callback in a collection is supposed to get the collection or the property passed, maybe no one thought of it? $\endgroup$ – CoDEmanX Apr 19 '14 at 20:32

I have a solution to this problem using Python Lambda.

Create an an update function called "updateID" with inputs for Self,Context and ID

then when creating your property do this:

update = eval("lambda s,c: updateID(s,c,\"%s\")" %foo)

foo is the unique ID that you use to identify that object inside the updateID function like the properties name.

This will create a unique update function for each instance of the property that simply calls the "updateID" function and plums in the ID variable.

    $\begingroup$ I'm certain you could drop the eval in the code i.e. update = lambda s,c: updateID(s,c,"{0}".format(foo)) or update = lambda s,c: updateID(s,c,foo) $\endgroup$ – Carel Sep 2 '16 at 4:49
