Event

Coding Python Support

IN the API Documentation bpy.types.Event has a bunch of attributes which seem to be missing in Blender. For example the documentation lists “mouse_x” as an attribute of Event (bpy.types.Event) but if I try to access this attribute in blender using bpy.types.Event().mouse_x it throws me some error.

What’s going on here?

I’m new to scripting so this is probably a stupid question, but if anyone could clarify this it would be helpful.

bpy.types.Event().mouse_x is trying to access the event_x attribute on the Event class, not on an instance of the class.

Yes, that makes sense. Thanks
