How can you save the state of number boxes?

[unfamiliartunes]

Hi!
I just started learning PureData and Camomile last month. I'm creating a spectral delay/filter plugin, and one of the features allows for the changing of the delay time with a number box. However, in order for this to be practical, the delay time you set (anywhere from 10 to 10,000 ms) needs to be saved into the preset/state. I've figured out how to do this with arrays (in the documentation), but number boxes escape me. Can anyone help? Thank you! (I am using Camomile v1.0.7)

Hi,
An easy solution would be to use a plugin parameter, the value will be automatically saved and restored. Otherwise, if you don't want the [nbx] object to be linked to a parameter, you can save the object with [receive save] [bang] -> [nbx]-> [save myvalue $1( -> [send camomile] and restore object with [receive load] -> [route myvalue] -> [nbx], of course you can replace "myvalue" with whatever you want and you can use the same approach for many [nbx] objects (if each one uses a specific symbol instead of "myvalue").

Hre is a solution:

Tip: If you need to debug your patch, you can use the [print] object and see the output in the console.

This isn't working for some reason. I'm beginner and I'm probably getting something wrong, what exactly do I replace "myvalue" with, and where do I route it?

Can you share your plugin/patch ? And give further information about what you do (your OS/DAW/etc.) ? It will be simpler to figure out the problem.

As you deleted the last two posts and asked another question, I guess this issue is resolved ;)

You'd be right! I found a way to link arrays to atom boxes thru messaging. It might not be the prettiest way, but it works and allows for "default" values as well!
