In an external, in a method called in during creating of an object, I'm creating an autopattr object in the parent patcher.

Autopattr is connected to different boxes.

There is also a pattrstorage in the patch.

Now, I want to define in the autopattr object the values to restore. In the maxpat, I have

How can I set these values back into pattrstorage/autopattr?

I'm a little unclear about what you're doing, but I don't think that you can do what you want. You can, of course, send data to the objects you're creating to set their values (object_setvalueof()), but I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about. I don't even really understand how you got that restore data in the patch, if the autopattr doesn't exist yet. But maybe you can be a little clearer about what you're trying to do.

Thanks for you reply and your help. It is working with object_setvalueof.

First, I create the objects, then the lines, then I search for the objects having a value in the "restore" section. I set the value on every, it's working.

Question: Should I restore the values before or after creating the lines?

Do you have an idea about my other post in dev, about menubar?
