I create a new patch, then add a subpatch containing the #0 object, save both patches, and there is no change to the #0 object. I also get an error in the Max Window: “newobj: #0: No such object”.
I read about a similar object “—” but can’t get that to work either. So how are unique symbols generated in Max 6?

It’s used as a prefix to a argument/name/value, and upon loading the #0 gets replaced by a unique number.

So for example, in your subpatch you might have a buffer object: [buffer~ #0-buf]. Upon loading the outer patch, the buffer object instantiates as something like [buffer~ 3021-buf]

— does a similar thing but for patches loaded in Max for Live.

It always showed [#0] upon load, never a unique number such as [3021].
I did manage to get it to work, though. I had mistakenly tried to load the subpatch using [p subpatch] instead of simply [subpatch], which is why it wasn’t working before. Thanks!

Just wanted to make things clear in case anyone else reads this thread. [#0] isn’t an object.

– Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. –

(in case the bpatcher can’t load, all it contains is an exact copy of the buffer~ object above it)

If it’s a normal subpatcher, none of the #0- #9 work

With — you can of course have it in your main patch.
There needs to be better documentation for this in any case :P
