i have multiple instances of an abstraction within another big patch.

i'm trying to "send" a value (float) only within these abstractions - not "leaving" them

(meaning not being passed on to the main patcher and not being shared among their instances).

edit: may it simply work to add an integer- or floatbox to the abstraction, giving it a scriptingname and recalling its value via a [pvar]?

or would this be shared somewhere else than within this single instance of the abtraction?

Prepending the argument of your sends and receives with #0 (i.e. send #0test) will work result in a unique id in each instance of an abstraction. Check :

pv will work in a patcher (and possibly in an abstraction but I can't recall and didn't check...)

will the #0-prepend work as a localized-only version (as i recall the #-argument needs to be the very first character of the name).

so - will something like [r ---#0_something] work? and i suppose that all #0-instances within the same patcher will be replaced

thanks spectro!

with the same argument, or?

ok, so - this means, if any other patcher by greatest coincidence would replace the #0-argument with the same number,

there'd be a conflict? 

sending values only within abstraction / patcher
