[PD] [text sequence] sending several messages at each [step<

[baptiste chatel]

Hi Lucas

there are alternatives : you can just output lists of length 2, unpack and
send accordingly. I really wanted to use [text sequence -g] because i
thought it was weird not being able to send series of messages (not a fixed
content list) on each step. Eventually i did found how to do this. Is the
help file a bit misleading... or is it just me ? :p

Happens that "lines" as described in the help file, are actually
comma-separated lists. Each "step" message outputs the next list, and if
the -g option is set, the message is sent to the first leading symbol.

So in order to send several messages at the same time, you have to set -w
option, which sets a symbol as a "wait" flag, and bang the [text sequence]
instead of the "step" message. Everything until the next wait symbol will
be sent.

See attached.
