Hi dear everybody, I was wondering if there is a way to have an abstraction to know when it is connected to the input of another object. For example I would like to attach an abstraction to an object, and in this way automatically modify some attributes of that object. 

Is this possible in some way? Thank you a lot for any help!

Hi Fede, maybe you can come up with something using [getattr]. On the other hand I'm using this abstraction to detect wether an openGL object is connected or not, is a little bit slow but works, don't know if it helps but thought to share it in anycase. Good luck!

A solution for the super desperate would be to parse the maxpat json file for the patchlines. But it would be a bit tricky to find out which line belongs to the abstraction...

Thank you both for the answers! Kev using "getstate" could do it, but the tricky part is to bang the message when the abstraction is connected to the object. Would be great not to have to use some metro and gates

I was thinking, what about jit.gl.material? How does this guy know that it's connected to a 3D object?

i have a system like that which consists of a set of sub-abstractions for all inlets and outlets of a patcher.

[110.happy-inlet #0_thisabstraction thisinletname]

[110.happy-outlet #0_thisabstraction thisoutletname]

it is basically a system which continiously sends a 1000 ms trigger train sent from a global master metro out through all outlets.

each outlet of each abstraction equipped with t hat will now not only send out e.g.

"weirdabstraction instance 5 outlet 2" .... "17.5"

using zl slice or route, the happy-inlet of other patches now makes sure that the patch knows where the 17.5 comes from. it can also be used to make the patcher rember to which other patches its inlets were connected and where. (not why though...yet)

i originally made this to script-recall patches or p arts of patches (so i had "snippets" in max 4 already 10 years ago ) but the whole thing is in practice still too complicated when many connections are made. and it only works in these special types of abstractions.

fun fact; my very first attempt was to use [grab] for that - only to find out that

Abstraction can be achieved using following steps:

Provide all essential properties in an interface. (So, using interface we can achieve 100% abstraction. How? Where? When? will explain later.)

Provide an implementation according to subclass.

Refer(give access to) the implementation by using interface reference variable.

if you didn't get anything in above description. I am going to justify each and everything explained above.

The best example of 100% abstraction and how interface is used to achieve 100% abstraction is the following code lines of 

 JDBC(Java Database Connectivity) programming.

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl);

To understand this, first see the below figure. Just observe the design which is shown and go through that which class implements which interface, which 

 methods and what are the return type, etc.

 For simplicity during first observation just ignore the names represented in bold and consider the text given in strike-through style.

In figure by mistake I forgot to mention the String type argument in getConnection()/getInstance()

it wont be longer than 10 years from now and the bots will be better interlocutors on the net than the rest of us.

Is it possible to have an abstraction to know when it's connected to object?
