Class Object

The Object object

This object gives access to generic data from all objects in Blender.

Note: When dealing with properties and functions such as LocX/RotY/getLocation(), getSize() and getEuler(), keep in mind that these transformation properties are relative to the object's parent (if any).

To get these values in worldspace (taking into account vertex parents, constraints, etc.) pass the argument 'worldspace' to these functions.

Method Details

addProperty(name_or_property, data, type)

Add or create a game property for an object. If called with only a property object, the property is assigned to the object. If called with a property name string and data object, a new property is created and added to the object.
Parameters:
name_or_property - the property name, or a property object.
           (type=string or Property object)
data - Only valid when name_or_property is a string. Value depends on what is passed in:
  • string: string type property
  • int: integer type property
  • float: float type property

           (type=string, int or float)
type - Only valid when name_or_property is a string. Can be the following:
  • 'BOOL'
  • 'INT'
  • 'FLOAT'
  • 'TIME'
  • 'STRING'

           (type=string (optional))

Warnings:

  • If a type is not declared string data will become string type, int data will become int type and float data will become float type. Override type to declare bool type, and time type.
  • A property object can be added only once to an object; you must remove the property from an object to add it elsewhere.

addScriptLink(text, event)

Add a new script link to this Object.
Parameters:
text - the name of an existing Blender Text.
           (type=string)
event - "FrameChanged", "Redraw" or "Render".
           (type=string)

buildParts()

Recomputes the particle system. This method only applies to an Object of the type Effect.

clearIpo()

Unlinks the ipo from this object.
Returns:
True if there was an ipo linked or False otherwise.

clearScriptLinks(links=None)

Delete script links from this Object. If no list is specified, all script links are deleted.
Parameters:
links - None (default) or a list of Blender Text names.
           (type=list of strings)

clearTrack(mode=0, fast=0)

Make this Object not track another anymore.
Parameters:
mode - if nonzero the matrix transformation used for tracking is kept.
           (type=int (bool))
fast - if zero, the scene hierarchy is updated automatically. If you set 'fast' to a nonzero value, don't forget to update the scene yourself (see Scene.Scene.update).
           (type=int (bool))

clrParent(mode=0, fast=0)

Clears parent object.
Parameters:
mode - A mode flag. If mode flag is 2, then the object transform will be kept. Any other value, or no value at all will update the object transform.
           (type=Integer)
fast - If the value is 0, the scene hierarchy will not be updated. Any other value, or no value at all will update the scene hierarchy.
           (type=Integer)

copyAllPropertiesTo(object)

Copies all game properties from one object to another.
Parameters:
object - Object that will receive the properties.
           (type=Object object)

List of Property objects.
           (type=PyList)

getBoundBox()

Returns the worldspace bounding box of this object. This works for meshes (out of edit mode) and curves.
Returns:
The coordinates of the 8 corners of the bounding box. Data is wrapped when bounding box is present.
           (type=list of 8 (x,y,z) float coordinate vectors (WRAPPED DATA))

getData(name_only=False, mesh=False)

Returns the Datablock object (Mesh, Lamp, Camera, etc.) linked to this Object. If the keyword parameter name_only is True, only the Datablock name is returned as a string. It the object is of type Mesh, then the mesh keyword can also be used; the data return is a Mesh object if True, otherwise it is an NMesh object (the default). The mesh keyword is ignored for non-mesh objects.
Parameters:
name_only - This is a keyword parameter. If True (or nonzero), only the name of the data object is returned.
           (type=bool)
mesh - This is a keyword parameter. If True (or nonzero), a Mesh data object is returned.
           (type=bool)
Returns:
Depends on the type of Datablock linked to the Object. If name_only is True, it returns a string.
           (type=specific Object type or string)

Notes:

  • Mesh is faster than NMesh because Mesh is a thin wrapper.
  • This function is different from NMesh.GetRaw and Mesh.Get because it keeps a link to the original mesh, which is needed if you are dealing with Mesh weight groups.

The example below works on the default scene. It retrieves all objects in the scene and updates the location and rotation of the camera. When run, the camera will rotate 180 degrees and moved to the opposite side of the X axis. Note that the number 'pi' in the example is an approximation of the true number 'pi'. A better, less error-prone value of pi is math.pi from the python math module.: 
       import Blender

       sce = Blender.Scene.GetCurrent()

       for obj in sce.objects:
               if obj.type == 'Camera':
                       obj.LocY = -obj.LocY
                       obj.RotZ = 3.141592 - obj.RotZ

       Blender.Redraw()
Returns:
The type of object.
           (type=String)

insertIpoKey(keytype)

Inserts keytype values in object ipo at curframe.
Parameters:
keytype - A constant from IpoKeyTypes
           (type=int)
Returns:

Returns the Object's SoftBody enabled state.
Returns:
boolean

isSelected()

Returns the objects selection state in the current scene as a boolean value True or False.
Returns:
Selection state as True or False
           (type=Boolean)

join(objects)

Uses the object as a base for all of the objects in the provided list to join into.
Parameters:
objects - A list of objects matching the object's type.
           (type=Sequence of Blender Object)

Notes:

  • Objects in the list will not be removed from the scene. To avoid overlapping data you may want to remove them manually after joining.
  • Join modifies the base object's data in place so that other objects are joined into it. No new object or data is created.
  • Join will only work for object types Mesh, Armature, Curve and Surface; an excption will be raised if the object is not of these types.
  • Objects in the list will be ignored if they to not match the base object.
  • The base object must be in the current scene to be joined.
  • This function will not work in background mode (no user interface).
  • An error in the function input will raise a TypeError or AttributeError, otherwise an error in the data input will raise a RuntimeError. For situations where you don't have tight control on the data that is being joined, you should handle the RuntimeError error, letting the user know the data can't be joined.

link(datablock)

Links Object with ObData datablock provided in the argument. The data must match the Object's type, so you cannot link a Lamp to a Mesh type object.
Parameters:
datablock - A Blender datablock matching the objects type.
           (type=Blender ObData datablock)

makeDisplayList()

Updates this object's display list. Blender uses display lists to store already transformed data (like a mesh with its vertices already modified by coordinate transformations and armature deformation). If the object isn't modified, there's no need to recalculate this data. This method is here for the *few cases* where a script may need it, like when toggling the "SubSurf" mode for a mesh:

Example: 
       import Blender

       scn = Blender.Scene.GetCurrent()
       object = scn.objects.active
       object.modifiers.append(Blender.Modifier.Type.SUBSURF)
       object.makeDisplayList()
       Blender.Window.RedrawAll()
If you try this example without the line to update the display list, the object will disappear from the screen until you press "SubSurf".

Warning: If after running your script objects disappear from the screen or are not displayed correctly, try this method function. But if the script works properly without it, there's no reason to use it.

makeParent(objects, noninverse=0, fast=0)

           (type=Integer)
fast - 0 - update scene hierarchy automatically 1 - don't update scene hierarchy (faster). In this case, you must explicitely update the Scene hierarchy.
           (type=Integer)

Warning: objects must first be linked to a scene before they can become parents of other objects. Calling this makeParent method for an unlinked object will result in an error.

makeParentBone(objects, bonename, noninverse=0, fast=0)

Makes one of the object's bones the parent of the objects provided in the argument which must be a list of valid objects. The parent object must be an Armature.
Parameters:
objects - The children of the parent

           (type=integer)

Warning: Objects must first be linked to a scene before they can become parents of other objects. Calling this method for an unlinked object will result in an exception.

makeParentDeform(objects, noninverse=0, fast=0)

Makes the object the deformation parent of the objects provided in the argument which must be a list of valid Objects. The parent object must be a Curve or Armature.

Warnings:

  • objects must first be linked to a scene before they can become parents of other objects. Calling this makeParent method for an unlinked object will result in an error.
  • child objects must be of mesh type to deform correctly. Other object types will fall back to normal parenting silently.

makeParentVertex(objects, indices, noninverse=0, fast=0)

Makes the object the vertex parent of the objects provided in the argument which must be a list of valid Objects. The parent object must be a Mesh, Curve or Surface.
Parameters:

Sets the object's matrix and updates its transformation. If the object has a parent, the matrix transform is relative to the parent.
Parameters:

           (type=Py_Matrix 3x3 or 4x4)

Note: This method is "bad": when called it changes the location, rotation and size attributes of the object (since Blender uses these values to calculate the object's transformation matrix). Ton is not happy having a method which "pretends" to do a matrix operation. In the future, this method may be replaced with other methods which make it easier for the user to determine the correct loc/rot/size values for necessary for the object.
