Hey All<div><br></div><div>This might be a simple problem, but I can't see a way around it.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm making a patch involving a grid of toggles (each in an abstraction, so they can have rules to control them individually, also to relay this grid to a grid of squares in gem). Basically I've already set up [s $1-$2-state], in each to send it's position to a named bus. I've also got r $1-$2-control to control each toggle remotely, but that's aside. </div><div><br></div><div>I can use messages and non-logical sends to generate control messages, like so:</div><div><br></div><div>[pack f f f]</div><div>|</div><div>[$1-$2-control $3 (</div><div><br></div><div>Which can change any of the toggles on my grid. </div><div><br></div><div>So far, all well and good.</div><div><br></div><div>======</div><div>However</div><div>======</div><div><br></div><div>What I really need is for each abstraction to be 'aware' of it's neighbors. So while each one has two arguments, (it's co-ordinates on the grid), I need them to have receives based on it's arguments and some arithmetic. I could generate the right string for this like</div><div><br></div><div>[$1] [$2]</div><div>| |</div><div>[+ 1] [+ 1]</div><div>| |</div><div>[pack f f] </div><div>|</div><div>[$1-$2-state(</div><div><br></div><div>But I don't know of an object I can set like this. I can't find a receive which can be set with a message (in the same way that the non-logical sends can be made in a message box, it's all very perplexing).</div><div><br></div><div>As ever, help would be appreciated</div><div><br></div><div>Andrew </div> </body>
