Hallo, João Miguel Pais hat gesagt: // João Miguel Pais wrote:
To do dynamic sends you don't need to use the editmode etc. messages, if you require pd >= 0.39 for your patch (which I think, everyone should use anyways, but I said so several times already.)
sorry, but I just found an inconvenient of your sollution:
many objects use send / receive symbols with variables, $0-aa, $1-ubb,
etc. It isn't possible to use those variables correctly because when
they're incorporated in messages they take another value - or at least I
couldn't do it (sometimes I still make confusions with the several classes
in pd/max).
You have this problem with the generated objects as well - as they, too, need to be built out of messages. That is, if you provide a symbol box to let users type in the name, they cannot type $0 or $1, instead they need to type in the values of $0 or $1.
Plus: There is no "$0" variable in messages! $0 is an object variable, so to get it into a message, the messages needs to use another $x, like $1, and replace that with the incoming value of [f $0] or [symbol $0-aa] or [f $0]-[makefilename pd-%d-patch].
Besides that, there are some new methods of messages in 0.39 like "adddollar 1" or "adddollsym 2-aa, which can be handy. See the help file for messages, subpatch "pd changing-messages" for details on this.
