[PD] setX in [mass]

[Alexandros Drymonitis]

But if I reset them, aren't they going to set their positions to zero?
Also, only the second mass is moving, left inlet of [link] is attached to a
fixed point, so how can I send force to the second [mass] via [link]? Right
inlet won't give any results. What do you mean exactly by 'mass parameter'?
Is it for [mass] or [link]? Could you give an example?

Thanks
