hello,
Le 08/06/2012 00:43, Jonathan Wilkes a écrit :
I've posted about it before. Just imagine [s] inside abstraction [foo]
and
[r] inside abstraction [bar]. I want to type [foo blah] and have my
abstraction
set the inner [s] symbol to [parent-$0]-blah. Easy enough. Similarly, I
want
[bar blah] to set its inner [r] symbol to [parent-$0]-blah. Roadblock.
[s parent-$0-$1] [r parent-$0-$1]
That probably wasn't clear. I don't want [symbol parent-$0-$1]; inside my abstractions I want the parent $0 prefixed to $1 as the symbol. In other words, my abstractions make it so that I don't have to type "$0-" in every s/r pair where I want canvas locality which as I said is most of the cases by far. (My abstractions do other stuff which I wrote about in the nonlocal scope thread, but that isn't important to this discussion.)
anyway, if you really in need for a settable send and a settable receive, you can always use prepends and route that are both settable. see small attached abstraction.
I think you are stuck for two reasons
- [r setable_send_receive] is global. I want the parent $0 in front of it so that
my abstraction symbols don't clash with other abstractions. 2) Your example filters messages in a way that s/r doesn't. It's possible to hack around this using three extra objects. It is also possible to get the arguments of an abstraction in Pd Vanilla. With the former, I'd rather send a single message to an inlet and be done.
