Umenu HELP
Hi,
I want to use "umenu" to output to a bang that corresponds with the item number in the list. The idea is that if I select the first option in the drop down menu, then a bang will be sent to a message. And if I select option two, a bang will be sent to another message, and so on. I've tried using "pack" and "unpack" to help do this, but without any results and I'm ready to smash my face into my keyboard. I'm still pretty new to Max so any bit of advice will definitely help. If I'm doing a bad job explaining this or you need any more info just let me know (:
Thanks!
the [umenu] outputs the index number of your selection. You can use the [sel] object to act on a specific index like so:
-N
If I understand correctly what You are trying to do, easiest way
could be to have another umenu ubject containing the messages,
or a coll, text object, whatsoever.
So when You select umenu item number 7, it recalls second umenu's item number 7
as well, or coll adress, text line number 7 You choose what fits best....
Thanks for the help guys, I actually figured RIGHT it out after posting to the forum. I connected the number index from [umenu] into [gate] and that worked too. Funny how there's multiple ways to solve a problem in Max...
