Hello,
I am using GEM to create a graphical design video. I have completed a lot of it and have all my patches set up with the desired numbers etc. Yet everytime i close and re-open the project, all the numbers return to 0 which messes up my project big time. Is there a way to save the number box's as they are so they stay the same everytime the project is closed and re-opened?
I have included a screenshot of before and after the project is closed and re-opened.
Many thanks.
If you know exactly what you want the values to be before you open the patch you can replace the number atoms with messages, ie [32( instead of an atom. And then just send them a [loadbang] to initialize whatever they're going into...

Also [metro] will default to the creation argument, so you can just have it be [metro 32] with nothing going into the right inlet and it'll use that value.

Or use the "Number2" number box, and set its "init" attribute in properties. It will then init itself with the last value that was in the box at the time the parent patch was saved.

I try to avoid the iemgui "init" method because it isn't represented in the Pd diagram.
I'd rather do this:
[loadbang]
[42( | [numbox]
Then you can see if you made a mistake. For example, I forgot to connect [loadbang] to [42(. I can quickly scan all other places where I use [loadbang] to see if I made a similar error.
But if you use the "init" method, you must right-click and choose "Properties" on every single numbox to do error checking. The time wasted isn't worth whatever it is you think you save by using "init".
Digression-- consider a Properties dialog with the following button: [don't fire nukes]
Do you press it or not?

If you are using pd-l2ork, there is also universal preset system built into it using preset_hub and preset_node objects.

Hello,
You need to initialise the value. You can use the [loadbang] object to have a « bang » when your open your patch. And after use message box to set the different value.
To have something better and to avoid problems it’s better to use a trigger to sequentialize the initialization.
There is an example.
Best,
Pierrick

Also, FWIW, in pd-l2ork trigger can use static values, e.g. [trigger 1 b 0 blue] would output symbol blue from the rightmost outlet, then a zero, then a bang, and then a 1.

see other's replies for this. anyhow, all objects that you want to send numbers to, accept creation arguments.
so instead of sending three numbers (e.g. 2, 3.1 and -7) to [translateXYZ] you could just use [translateXYZ 2 3.1 -7]. the same for the other objects.
