i'm currently working on a patch that's using set messages to build a message...

You might be interested in Cyclone's prepend as well here.

but i've got a small problem. i can't set a message with a $1 argument.

i want to build a message like |resize $0-buffer $1(

You can't.

since the $0 isn't working in messages i was building something like:

|ii $0| | |set resize $1-buffer( | | (

but i can't add the variable $1 i want to have...

is there any point i'm missing? if not, what do you think of adding a $1 feature to the message system that's not replaced by the variable?

I'm not sure if that's a good idea, and IMO it's not necessary.

Normally you better work in another idiom. For example:

| [nbx] | [pack 0 $0] | [; $2-buffer resize $1 (

Then there's no need to "set" any messages, you'd just send a number into the pack, and it will resize the local buffer $0-buffer to that number.

If you store the number to the cold inlet of a float, you can even get the exact same behaviour as your dynamic message would have: On bang it would output a message [1001-buffer resize 200(

Of course you can also replace the "resize" in that message by using [pack 0 $0 somesymbol] and [$2-buffer $3 $1(
