Hi, I am trying to create a script that will reset all the userdata under a userdata group back to their defaults. I am a Python beginner. Any suggestions as to how I would go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So far I have this:
import c4d
for id, bc in op.GetUserDataContainer() :
try:
op[id] = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]
except TypeError:
#No or invalid default value.
pass
c4d.EventAdd()
But this resets all the userdata and I want to reset only the userdata within a specific userdata group.

Hello,
if you just want to reset the userdata of a specific userdata group you have to check if a given userdata parameter is part of that group. You can access DESC_PARENTGROUP to get the ID of the parent group. So your code could look something like this:
for id, bc in op.GetUserDataContainer() :
if bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP][-1].id == 2:
op[id] = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]
Best wishes,
Sebastian

Hi
I test code and simple print to dive in to level
for id, bc in op.GetUserDataContainer() :
print bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP][-1].id
if bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP][-1].id == 700:
op[id] = bc[c4d.DESC_DEFAULT]
i have id in level = 700.
Try such, code works for me

If I try this code from the Script Manager, it works and only userdata from group 255 is reset but when it is on a Python tag, it doesn't. Any suggestions?

For a Python Tag, "op" is the Tag, not the Object. Use the variable "obj" in all places instead of "op" and add "obj = op.GetObject()" beforehand.

Thanks, Niklas, that totally worked! The last thing I need and can't get to work is the switch. Here is what I have:
import c4d
obj = op.GetObject()
ID_RESET_Iceland = 39

for id, bc in obj.GetUserDataContainer() :
if bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP][-1].id == 255:

pass
c4d.EventAdd()

Don't use that __name__ == "__main__" part in a Python Tag

One problem, the script keeps looping after I activate the reset button. Is there a way to stop it?

Figured that out. Moved c4d.EventAdd() out of the for loop. But now it resets regardless of whether or not the reset switch is activated.
