Show/Hide a BPatcher?
I have 5 different interfaces, in 5 different patches. I have 5 bpatchers with the patches loaded in. How do i show/hide the bpatchers?
I'd use [thispatcher]. In the inspector give each bpatcher a unique scripting name like var1, var2, etc... and then "script hide var1" or "script show var1".
Any chance of a fast code example? Would be muchly appreciated, Regards, Rob.
What is there to code? Connect the message "script hide var1" to object "thispatcher" and in your bpatchers object inspector set the scripting name of your bpatcher to "var1". Click message. Bpatcher hides.
is there a way to create a smoother transition, i.e alpha transparency of the BPatcher fading to null and another BPpatcher fading to 1?
you can control a [panel] that's white or whatever color, then change the alpha color of that via a [line] object. You can't just fade the [bpatcher] itself, unless you fade everything in it, which is also possible but takes a lot of messages.
Thank you both very much :)
If You don't run all 5 patchers simultaneously, You can load
them individually , on demand into same patcher using pcontrol.
