I would like to draw bars on a LCD object with the same sprite.

Is there a way that the next drawing do not erase the previous one ?

Take a look at my patch :

– Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. –

The problem is located in sprite “bar3″ in my opinion.

Thanks in advance

Mathieu

– Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. –

Any ideas in order to have this message :

– Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. –

instead of the message without coma ?

sprintf does not work with comas.

Thanks in advance,

Mathieu

“bla bla bla, bla bla bla”

this is cos commas are tricky things to pass in the max environment as it thinks it needs to break message up into separate lists…

There is nothing wrong Emmanuel but I wanted the sprite name to change over time from bar3, bar4, … to barN.

Then I had to use sprintf with %ld to change that, but sprintf dos not accept commas.

Thanks for your help Justin, it was impossible for me to find it out !

Have a nice day

Mathieu

combine? is that new to max 5?

seems like a very handy object for concatenating strings…

thanks for the heads up!

It’s new since Max 5. In this case sprintf bar%i would have done the same thing though.
