For some reason I no longer see the "replace" message in the documentation for thispatcher scripting. Can someone let me know if it still exists, and what the format is? I'm trying to replace a coll in my patch with a new one. Both have scripting names. Everything I've tried fails...

Replace is a message for a bpatcher.. thispatcher takes newobject to create objects. Not sure it ever had replace...?

Thanks - yeah I saw posts in the forum for bpatcher content replacing, but for some reason thought it was possible to replace other objects in a patcher as well - sort of like the paste replace function invoked from the menu...

not aware of that, but i guess would be useful...

for coll what about messaging refer your_coll_name?

Yeah, I'm aware of refer, but for my use case it's not what I need.

At any rate, I got the info from someone at Cycling - hopefully this helps someone else.

You send the following message to thispatcher:

script replace NAMED_OBJECT_TO_BE_REPLACED newex 0 0 200 12 NEW_OBJECT_TYPE

script replace old_coll newex 0 0 200 12 coll foobar

never got this to work.. NEWEX!
