I'm trying to make a device that dynamically monitors changes in the chains of the drumrack device, namely whether the name of any of the 128 (0-127) chain changes. 

Since I am an absolute beginner in javascriprt, I made this script using chat GPT, this is all I could get out of it after spending a couple of months. It is also likely that the script is far from ideal.

I would like the script to display the id of the chains in which changes occurred and the new name of the chain (Chain: id N, Name Changed: New Name). 

inlets = 1;
outlets = 1; // Set one outlet for sending chain ID

var observers = [];
var previousNames = []; // Array to store previous chain names
var pathPrefix = "";
var chainsObserver;
var maxChains = 128;

// Function to create an observer for a chain
function createObserver(index) {
    if (observers[index]) {
        observers[index].property = "";
    }
    var observer = new LiveAPI(callback, pathPrefix + " chains " + index);
    observer.property = "name";
    observers[index] = observer;
    previousNames[index] = ""; // Initialize previous name
}

// Callback function to handle name changes
function callback(args) {
    var index = args[0]; // Assume the first argument is the chain index
    var newName = args[1]; // Second argument is the new chain name

    // Check if the name has changed
    if (previousNames[index] !== newName) {
        previousNames[index] = newName; // Update previous name
        post("Chain ID: " + index + ", New Name: " + newName + "\n"); // Debug message
        outlet(0, index); // Send chain ID through the first outlet
    }
}

// Function to track changes in the chain list
function observeChains() {
    if (chainsObserver) {
        chainsObserver.property = "";
    }
    chainsObserver = new LiveAPI(chainsCallback, pathPrefix);
    chainsObserver.property = "chains";
}

// Callback function to handle changes in the chain list
function chainsCallback(args) {
    // Update observers only for active chains
    for (var i = 0; i < maxChains; i++) {
        if (i < args.length - 1) { // Check if the chain exists
            createObserver(i);
        }
    }
}

// Function to set the path and create initial observers
function setPath(path) {
    pathPrefix = path;
    observeChains();
}

// Message to set the path
function anything() {
    var args = arrayfromargs(messagename, arguments);
    outlet(0, args); // Send input message through the first outlet

    if (args[0] == "path") {
        var path = args.slice(1).join(" ");
        setPath(path);
    }
}

Note: In the inlet of the script I send a message containing the path to my drumrack, something like "path live_set tracks 0 devices 2"

I have been using a Dict in M4L for some time to save information inside a device. 

The device management is all done using JavaScript. 

The information I save is related to the session's cue points and some associated information (name, ID, index, position), retrieving them from an array where I save the results of an observer. 

To perform this operation in Live version 11 with older max version, I always simply used the set command of the dict: 

[Dict variable].set(array[i][0], array[i][1], array[i][2]);

In Live version 12 with max 8.6.4, however, I am forced to convert the first value to a string; otherwise, the command is ignored, and the data are not added to the dict. This is the command that works in Live 12 with max 8.6.4: 

[Dict variable].set(array[i][0].toString(), array[i][1], array[i][2]); 

What strikes me as even stranger is that at index 0 of my array, I have the name of the cue point, which in the Max for Live documentation is defined as a symbol... 

Does anyone know if the structure of the Dict or the set function has changed and, if so, where I can find detailed information about this?

Hello guys, I have copied this small mechanism from the forum, which gets the track id of the track where the device is loaded. 

Since I copied it I don't really understand the regExp format so if anyone could break it down for me it would be lovely, also because i know regExp and sprintf are relly really powerfull tools and would like to get more into them!

We all dealt with that but sometimes, when I need to extend the concept, I use this one.

You can get them there. There is a test in the leftmost part of the patch. Test it. It works even with 1000000 numbers in the list and theoretically even bigger numbers !
