Hi, Alex, thanks for your replies !
Ok, I can improve help files, can you open an issue for we to discuss it
in https://github.com/pure-data/pddp ? It is still vague how you want
this improved
After going through your answers and other examples again, i finally
found the cause of my confusion.
In the [array define] help patch the method of remote receive objects is
introduced, withe the object [array size -s float-array z] as a possible
receiver.
What i didn't understand is that said objkect needs the "-s float-array
z" argument to work this way. Could this be explained in the help patch ?
Why those specific arguments and how would a normal user know of them ?
(As for [text], those arguments would be "-s text t" to make things even
more confusing ;-))
Anyway: Attached you will find a working patch for what i was trying to
achieve - make [array] work with just it's pointer as a reference -
without having to give it a specific name.
Thanks, Alex, you pointed me in the right direction ;-)
Maybe the deeper knowledge behind all this is better left in the obscure
after all ;-)
Best
Oliver
