Good morning!

I'm new here on the forum and on Pure Data and I have a question.
How do I send an OSC message to a message box?

I have this patch:

[osc/routeOSC /connection]

[message box]

But when I send the OSC message (through a Python script, which I got thanks to another post here on the forum), it doesn't reach the message box.
So how can I do this?

@blurryface You can use [print something] at every step to see what is going on.

@blurryface A message box doesn't display a message that arrives at it's inlet ....... yes, maybe that is a strange behaviour.
"number" and "symbol" will display but only if the correct type of message arrives.

You have to tell a message box to display the message by using "set" which is added before the message.

But try [hello( >> [set $1( >> [ (
It will display "0"
That is why in the screenshot above I have defined hello as a symbol in the two examples on the right.
If the incoming message is already tagged as a symbol then just [set $1( will work.

Sending a bang into the message box will then send on that message.
Sending just "set" in will clear the contents of the box.
