How to add data you don't know what type is to a list
Oct 29 2015 | 9:34 pm
Hey guys!
So I tried to search for a solution to this problem, but no luck so far.
As the title says, I need to add a piece of data to a list, and it could be anything from a bang, to a list, float, int or symbol. I attached a little patch to show you what I would like to be possible. In fact, I would like the solution to work exactly like a pack object. I tried solutions with "append" and a message box with "set $1" above it, which works for most things, but is bad for lists. Anyone got a universal solution here?
I would really appreciate a solution ASAP, since I'm kinda on a deadline here!
If anyone is curious, I'm using this for a patch that does automation of parameters in max, together with the Transport object.
