Should be in the help patch for throw~, otherwise file a bug report.
Thanks everyone for the input, I've got something to work with. I now realize my question came out all wrong, I'm perfectly aware of the difference between dac~ and throw~, I was just wondering if there's a greater logic behind the fact that throw~ accepts set messages? Can anything general be said about which objects accepts set-messages?
no. which messages an object supports is entirely up to the object itself. even though Pd's code has rudimentary implementation of an object-oriented inheritance concept, this is only used in a few special cases.
there are 3 ways to find out which objects accept a "set" message:
- read the help-patch
- read the source
- send a "set" message to the object and see what it does
