Matt, this totally works. Thanks for your help! For anyone interested, here’s
sample source code (where x->factor stores a return value from a function that
does something useful with an init arg):
void factorial_wait(t_factorial *x)
{
float test = x->factor;
outlet_float(x->factorial, test);
}
void factorial_free(t_factorial *x)
{
clock_free(x->x_clock);
}
void factorial_loadbang(t_factorial *x)
{
clock_delay(x->x_clock, 0);
}
