jit.gl.material does not work with send /receive

MJ's icon

is it a bug or a feature?

jit.gl.material does not work when send through a send /receive

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

like this :

MJ's icon

oh and i'm in osx10.7.2 max 6.02

pseudostereo's icon

jit.gl.material doesn't work like that - the patch cord doesn't send a message, it just sets the material attribute of the object it's connected to.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

but you can do it without a patch cord by naming the material:

MJ's icon

ah ! clear.

this should be in the help patch of jit.gl.material

jit.gl.texture does work through send/receive and somehow i expect jit.gl.material to do the same.
