Clearing a value

I’ve searched for this one but I think the keywords are just a bit too open to actually find any useful results.

Is there a way that I can completely clear a value so that it is the same state as when a patch first loads it? e.g. I’m storing cue points in the value, but when I load a new video I want the cue points to reset. Changing them to 0 doesn’t work as it means that upon hitting a cue key, I jump back to the beginning where as I’d just like it to do nothing. I realise to do this I could just use code to disable the cue keys until a new cue is stored, but I just thought clearing the value would be a much cleaner solution.

set $1 command? Depends on what object is storing the values. you can’t “clear” a number box, but you can clear a message. Not sure what you’re trying to do exactly.

You can also use ignoreclick on any UI object to temporarily disable it.

Sorry, the object is a value e.g.

value bob

So I would like to reinitialise bob to it’s original state after setting it.

In case anyone stumbles across this thread, I solved the problem by using a ‘coll’ instead of a ‘value’ (I was using multiple values anyway) and then sending it a ‘clear’ message. Works a treat!
