I'm trying to generate objects within a subpatch using [obj( messages, and I want those generated objects to have $0 as one of their arguments, e.g. [myobject $0]. Using [obj x y myobject $0( gives [myobject 0] (I know $0 is not for messages, just thought I'd give that a try), and of course [list append $0] to the object message just adds the interpreted $0 of the parent patch. I'd like to preserve the "$0". Anyone know of a way to do it?

Hi,

I think the attached patch demonstrates what you mean.

That works for $0, but it wouldn't with $1. If you replace the "0" with a "1" in the message box, you will still get a [test $0] object in the result window.

I think that "makefilename" just doesn't work with multiple parameters: any "%s" or "%d" except the first one, will evaluate to "(null)" or 0 respectively.

Furthermore, the following will make PD crash:

[list cat 2 dog( | | [makefilename foo%s_%d_%s] | | [print]

Maybe it just isn't meant to handle lists (or messages that aren't just a single float or symbol).

However, it is possible to "compose a filename" with multiple parameters using the trick described in the makefilename help patch, which would permit creating objects with $1 or $whatever.

Thanks Chris for the trick, I also needed that :)
