Globals variables that are not sysex’s

[LilCthulhu]

Sorry, another question, how can I make global variables that are available to all lua methods for example ? Let’s say I want to have a status or a list of items that I don’t want to generate everytime (maybe after reading a file, etc)… How can I use global variables inbetween lua snippets of code ? I know I can use a hidden modulator to do that, but I would prefer not to ” title=”Wink” />

Maybe it’s obvious, but i could not figure it out yet ” title=”Wink” />

From what i remember by default all variables are global in LUA, you need to explicitly use the [code:2t6o72ju]local[/code:2t6o72ju] keyword to make variables local. Anyway have a look at the LUA manual http://www.lua.org/pil/1.2.html. Also if you want some variable initialized use the panels methods "Called before any modulators are created" or "called when the panel has finished loading".

Thanks for the quick answer, I assumed that each method was living through it’s own sandbox… so far the ide has been great, I’ve got all my GUI done (at least 384 modulators + some more with as much labels) Part of the MIDI/SYSEX is done or underway, It’s going well…
