Hi.
Does anyone have an example of using a list outlet? I've looked through the "How to write an external for puredata" and I still can't figure it out. I want to send a bang and a float out of the same outlet and then use "unpack" to unravel it. Is this possible?
Thanks, dp
well, you could have a look at most of the available externals (like zexy for example); there are plenty of list-outlets.
on the other hand: a "bang" message is NO atom, but a list of 0 atoms, starting with the identifier "bang". you CANNOT pack bangs together with other atoms (so no package containing "bang"+<float>) since a bang is no state (you cannot really distinguish between various bangs), there is no real sense in packing it together with something other. whenever you send a float, you know, that there has to be a float too.
