uzi loop and unexpected behaviour (not a bug,I need help)

[julienb]

I'd expect another result:
8 0
8 1
8 2
....
....
....
8 23

but I have the last value repeated ..

could someone help me ??

When you're setting the value for pack, you're also triggering it. You need to set the value of the pack object without triggering it. You can do that with the set argument.
On top of that there is no message ordering.
One thing I've learned with max is: If you connect an outlet to multiple things, you want to control the order stuff happens in. Otherwise you'll get messed up results.

this [t ] object is EXACTLY what I needed!
thank bjorn!

[julienb]

I'm a little bit ashamed...
but just a little bit, cause I believe in "ask questionq for learning, even basic questions"


I'd like to make a list with the the number I fire at the top, the current uzi index, and the result of the right outlet of the route 0.
X, Y and RESULT on the patch

could you help me?
I read about right-to-left and bottom-to-top rules etc .. but I'm stuck yet (I may be stupid )

[homerjsim]

Hi Julien
Not going to be able to help you with your last issue, but to build upon Bjorn's solution for the first fragment - in the interest of using the fewest objects possible, fyi you don't need that 2nd trigger (uzi gives you the index and bang already) and you don't need both arguments to the set object.

Another fyi, you could also use 'prepend' instead of 'set' if you wanted, although there's probably no difference.

Try the code below. However, I've seen in other threads that live.path might not like Uzi. You might need a different approach.

Here's a version without Uzi. It isn't as pretty, but might work better if when making a bunch of calls to live.path.

FWIW, I probably would put this in a js object and send it the track number:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-

outlets =1 ;
var api = new LiveAPI(this.patcher);


function msg_int(t)
{
api.path = ("live_set");
scenes = api.getcount("scenes");
for(i=0;i<=scenes;i++){
thePath = "live_set tracks " + t + " clip_slots " + i + " clip";
api.path =(thePath);
n = parseInt(api.id);
outlet(0, t, i, n);

}
}

my patch will evolve into very JS I guess.
in order to reduce object number etc.
for the moment, it is very ok, efficient etc ... so
but it could be more efficient and more cute!
