Max->OSC->IanniX Question

[Anon]

Hi there –

I’m currently trying to generate curves and cursors with Max, but finding a strange behavior after my first curve/cursor.

Here is the process:
/add curve auto

Then, a numbering convention: I generate a 1 and a 2.
The 1 is sent to /setpos and /setsmoothpoint, both of which have random values for the XYZ positions.

/add cursor auto

Then /setcurve is set for 2 1, in accordance with the gui helper.

So far so good. A curve with a cursor attached.

I begin again, generate a new curve/cursor set for 4 3, as soon as I add the cursor, though, the first cursor/curve deselects.

Subsequent iterations, 6 5, 8 7, 10 9 – all seem to work fine..

Any thoughts on what is happening here?

Hmmm, I have to test your example.

BUT, you can simplify these ID thanks to “current” (last ID used or generated) and “lastCurve” (last curve ID used or generated) keyword.
Example:

add curve auto
setPos current x y z
set………… current …………

add cursor auto
setCurve current lastCurve
setSpeed current ………………

🙂
