some osc help

[iococoi]

hi fellas

i'm trying to connect usine to animata via osc.

http://animata.kibu.hu/
http://mansteri.com/2008/12/animata-osc/

so basically, i'm trying to output an osc message in the form of

/joint name x y

I would use the osc send - module with 3 data out..but how do i incorporate the "name" part in the osc message, as the module uses osc- float..or do i have to merge osc send text and osc send 2 data..



thanks in advance,
io

wow animata seems a really cool idea, especially linked to usine.

sadldy i don't think it's actually possible since modules are set to one kind of data : integer, float or caption.

receive modules can spread differents kind of datas, but no emmit modules afaik , might be a good suggestion..

don't understand you 23fx, the send module can send float message..?
I've check the tutorial , work with pure data but can't find why not in Usine
I've test with different way to enter address , must be something like
layerpos/foreground but no...can't find..
maybe after a good night

yes the send modules can send floats, or integers or strings, but for a N datas send, all N datas must be same kind.

you can't ie send a string followed by two float as above exemple, but you can send 3 floats.

Maybe Senso is cooking this possibility via script, i don't know, but im quasi sure it's not possible actually.

(yeah i know , it's very rare to say not possible with usine ... im also surprised saying that)

according to me the send module would need either to detect wha't on individual input flows, or maybe

have a 'Types array' ie 3 2 2 would mean 'input1 is a string, input 2 and 3 are floats, ect. to make such exemple possible.

yep, you're right
i've check the examples on their web site and use the max patch in the free max runtime 5.1
here what receive Usine :
