From what I read in the docs, I believe it is possible to store and recall a value of a js with pattrstorage by defining a getvalueof and setvalueof function. Is that correct?

I’ve been trying, but with no succes. Store and recall don’t work, I don’t see any reference in the clientwindow, and the saved xml file is empty.

If anyone has a hint how to do this, I would be very grateful.

I use the following patch and script to test:

——– save as pattrbindtest.js:

autowatch = 1;

var myvalue = 0.25;

function getvalueof()
{
return myvalue;
}

function setvalueof(v)
{
myvalue = v;
notifyclients();
}

function msg_int(v)
{
myvalue = v;
}

function bang()
{
post(“myvalue: ” + myvalue);
post();
}

function printThis()
{
for (var property in this)
{
post(property)
post();
}
}

——– patch:

#P number 39 128 35 9 0 0 0 139 0 0 0 221 221 221 222 222 222 0 0 0;
#P window linecount 1;

#X storage_rect 0 0 640 240;
#P objectname u811000042;
#P button 22 128 15 0;
#P newex 22 148 80 9109513 js pattrbindtest.js;
#P objectname js;
#P connect 4 0 2 0;
#P connect 5 0 2 0;
#P connect 6 0 2 0;
#P connect 7 0 2 0;
#P connect 8 0 0 0;
#P connect 3 0 0 0;
#P connect 1 0 0 0;

my understanding is, that you have to add a pattr object to your
patch and connect/bindto the js object.
also i would suggest to move the notifyclients() message from the
setvalue() function to your msg_int() function, as to “notify” pattr,
that myvalue has changed:

function msg_int(v) {
myvalue = v;
notifyclients();
}

hope that helps
