hi
again maybe a simple question... i am trying to build up a parent-child relationship between two or more sliders (for ex. 3 child sliders working independently. if i move the parent slider all three change their values according to the parent slider, up from there last values.) i am getting more and more confused and it just wont work up....
any hints about that?
regards wolfgang
Hi Wolfgang,
can you send an example patch? I'm having a hard time conceptualizing what you want them to do... it sounds like a simple issue of giving the child sliders the same "receive" value and the parent slider's "send". If this isn't what you want, then I have misunderstood.

Hi Wolfgang,
can you explain what part of this patch isn't working the way you want it to? It seems to function in the way you describe. Perhaps you are looking for a simplified version of the same thing?

Is this what you want? I didn't look at your patch much, but it seemed to be buggy (reset the 'parent' to 0 when I moved a child).
AFAICT, my patch has the behaviour you want in a suitably simple form. Things do get frustrating when a simple function turns to spaghetti, don't they.

First you should get rid of the spigot construct to avoid locking feedbacks. It's too complicated, it's error prone and most of all: It is ugly so it cannot be the best solution. Aesthetics make the software world go round.
Then: In the upper part of your patch you create three loops and then cheat your way out of it. Even the usual "set $1" will not help you there, it's an accident waiting to happen. So lets delete it altogether.
I cannot really follow the lower part of your patch, so I'm just guessing here now. I suppose you want to create three linked sliders, which all move in sync, if one of them moves. Again, "set $1" is your friend here. So lets delete all this, too, and add "set $1", as done in attached patch.
It's obvious at first sight, that this solution is simple and most importantly: It's not ugly anymore.

After reading this again, it occured to me, that it might be interpreted as: "My solution is obvious", but this isn't want I meant to say. I wanted to say, that this solution immediatly looks very simple, and that simple is a Good Thing (tm).

hi
to complete the spectrum of different 'lulli'-patches, i send you a third one. after looking at your patch, i think this is maybe what you was looking for. if i understand you right, you want to have added the parents value in the children-sliders, rather than just set them to the parents value, or 'glue' them all together.
cheers roman

But now I finally understand what Wolfgang wanted to do in the first place.
Thankfully you forgot your attachement ;-) so I can fix my misunderstanding with my own reworked patch...
