Share variables specific to a patch and its subpatches
Name | Type | Opt | Description |
---|---|---|---|
ID-name | symbol | Obligatory. The first argument provides an identifying name. All pv objects with that name within the patcher will share the same value. | |
initialization-message | symbol | opt | Any message typed in after the first argument initializes the stored contents of the pv object. Note that when two or more pv objects in a patcher file that share the same name are initialized to different values, the one which is initialized last determines the value. Since the order in which pv objects will be initialized cannot be precisely determined, the best practice is to initialize only one of the related pv objects. |
bang | Sends out the stored message. | |
int | input [int] |
Performs the same as the | message.
float | input [float] |
Performs the same as the | message.
list | input [list] |
Performs the same as the | message.
anything | input [list] |
The message is stored, to be shared by all other pv objects of the same name that are inside the object's patcher or its subpatches (or, if in a subpatch, its parent patch). A message received in any other such pv object will change the stored message. |
status | Posts information about the communications between all pv objects involved in the patcher. | |
symbol | input [symbol] |
Performs the same as the | message.
