Feature request: 'set' message to [select]
Hey,
Is there any chance of adding a ‘set’ message to the [select] object, please?
Kind regards,

a set message, unlikely, this would break old patches. But if you have a select object with no argument, you get an extra inlet so you can change the argument dynamically. The request is registered though.
hehe, i love this FAQ.
indeed it does accept "select", but only if it has no arguments i.e. it only
works with 2 outlets.
i also found that out not before making an abstraction for that task.
Many thanks for your replies folks, all very useful!
Using a [select] object with no arguments will enable me to set up the argument programmatically, which is just what I need to do.
Cheers! :-D
for dynamic routing of multiple values, I’ve heard about [xroute] but haven’t used it…
Maybe a whole new object instead of [select], like [mselect] for "multiple select". sending a list in would give you that many outlets?
though as usual there are pretty easy workarounds for all this.
for numbers [if] will also work, and it will work for up of two values
when you dont need the second output for "else".
for more than 2 i´d use several select objects.
zl, the king of objects, knows a way for multiple values.
