Does someone know how i can get the values of second outlet of the tof/[breakpoints] object inside a message?

Thx,

D.

yeh man you have to do this (connect below to 2nd outlet):

[ (

then when you fire [dump( at the inlet, the values will appear in the message box

hope this helps

Thanx a lot boonier. I imagined it had something to do with list trickery

Gonna try this out tonight.

Cheers,

D.

So i tried this and it works, very nice and thx boonier.

But now i have a second question: each time i close a patch in which i'm using breakpoints pd hangs on me.

Is this solvable or has it to do with the working of the breakpoints object?

Again muchos gracias for some reply anyone...

D.

No probs mate

yeah i got that aswell as i remember. Are you storing the values to save state?

I think the problem was that I was using the 3rd outlet to fire a [dump( message every time the envelope was altered. This, I thought created some kind of stack error overload message thing (no error posted, just crashed like you say). I then tried to speedlimit the 3rd outlet and it didn't really help.

What just occurred to me is that attaching a small [delay] will only make it send a bang once if there is no activity for a period of time, not for every value change. Might be wirth trying.

However, as I was using SSSAD I eventually had it poll the [breakpoints] object when I requested a save. Thus the dump message only triggered when necessarily. Now this 'appears' to work for me most of the time, but I'm not yet totally convinced that this isn't a small bug we're dealing with here.

If you use SSSAd i can attach my abstraction if you like?

I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the 3rd outlet, since i'm not using it. Everything works fine until i close the patch and then pd crashes. I guess i should run pd with the -verbose flag (??) to get a more detailed errorlog.

I found out what was crashing pd: when I close a patch while [breakpoints] is still outputting values it crashes. But then I have an other issue: when i send a [dump( message to the breakpoints, sometimes pd also crashes, usually when i try to dump a rather big envelope (+/- 15 points or more)...
