Hallo, Lao Yu hat gesagt: // Lao Yu wrote:
I want to store a value and use it as a constant - I mean, the value
is permanently "broadcasting" without the need of a bang (which
'float' needs). Is there a way?
Only audio signals in Pd are updated automatically, but message flow always is driven by some event generator, like a metro or a gemhead. You generally initiate a message flow with a bang-event, but there is no way to "broadcast without the need of a bang" outside of audio.
For storage itself you have lots of options, though: [float], [value], [table], [list], [textfile], [pointer], and so on.
