I'm a js newb modifying a script that's specifically for drum racks in Live, but am getting some errors. It seems to break at the iterate function at the end.

autowatch = 1;
outlets = 1;

function msg_int(num)
{
    var api = new LiveAPI('id ' + num);
    if (!api) return;

    iterateChains(api);
}

function iterateChains(api)
{
    
        var count = api.getcount('chains'); // only racks have chains
        chainApiPath = dequotePath(api);
        for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            chainApi = new LiveAPI(chainApiPath + ' chains ' + i);
            var chainName = chainApi.get('name');
            //outlet(0, chainName);

            if (chainApi) {
                var dCount = chainApi.getcount('devices');
                var deviceApiPath = dequotePath(chainApi);
                for (var j = 0; j < dCount; j++) {
                    var deviceApi = new LiveAPI(deviceApiPath + ' devices ' + j);
                    if (deviceApi) {
                        var devClass = deviceApi.get('class_display_name');
                        var devName = deviceApi.get('name');
                        var devId = deviceApi.id;
                        var cCount;
                        var chainsApi;
                        var k;
                        
                        if (deviceApi.get('can_have_chains') == 1) {
                            cCount = deviceApi.getcount('chains'); // only racks have chains
                            chainsApiPath = dequotePath(deviceApi);
                            for (k = 0; k < cCount; k++) {
                                chainsApi = new LiveAPI(chainsApiPath + ' chains ' + k);

                                }
                        }

whats-wrong-with-this-loop

Sorry, trying to get the formatting to work right.

anyway . what kind of errors do you have ? that would be helpful .

another things . check every 'getcount' if returns apropriate data ,and verify every part separately first to make sure your requests are fine !

 for (j = 0; h < chainsCount; h++) {

 chainsApi = new LiveAPI(deviceApiPath + " return_chains " + h);
 var chainsName = chainsApi.get('name');
//iterateDevices(chainsApi);
 outlet(0, 'return_chains ' + chainsName);

 }


you updated it . ok , what kind of errors ?

Hi, thanks, I edited that part out since it was commented out awhile ago. If I can get the main iteration fine, then when I update that part it should be fine.

The amount of errors and their order seem correct in that they're detecting what they should be detecting, and the path name's should be correct (ie all the "dequote...")s but it still seems it can't get past "live_set tracks 0 devices 1 chains 0 devices x".....where it should get to another iteration of "chains x devices x"

Ok, the errors are:"getcount: invalid property name"
"get: no valid object set"
"invalid path component: 'chains'"

yes, I've checked through smaller segments and the only problem is the end "iterateChains(chainsApi)" call.

I can comment it out and it works fine but then it won't iterate.

That's what breaks it.

It could be something really simple/stupid and it wouldn't surprise me but I'm stuck.

What's wrong with this loop?
