Share data within a patch hierarchy Creates a value that is shared between objects, but only within a single patcher. Unlike the value object, pv objects that share the same name only share the same value if they are in the same patcher, or one of its subpatches. Cycling '74 Max bang Outputs, Anything Else Sets Value TEXT_HERE bang Outputs, Anything Else Sets Value TEXT_HERE Value Shared by All Local pv a Objects TEXT_HERE Shared context name Obligatory. The first argument provides an identifying name. All pv objects with that name within the patcher will share the same value. Initialization message Any message typed in after the first argument initializes the stored contents of the pv object. Note that when two or more pv objects in a patcher file that share the same name are initialized to different values, the one which is initialized last determines the value. Since the order in which pv objects will be initialized cannot be precisely determined, the best practice is to initialize only one of the related pv objects. Sends out the stored message. Sends out the stored message. Store and share an integer message Performs the same as the anything message. Store and share a float message Performs the same as the anything message. Store and share a list Performs the same as the anything message. Store and share a message The message is stored, to be shared by all other pv objects of the same name that are inside the object's patcher or its subpatches (or, if in a subpatch, its parent patch). A message received in any other such pv object will change the stored message. Print share data in the Max Console Posts information about the communications between all pv objects involved in the patcher. Store and share a symbol Performs the same as the anything message. The pv also object cannot be the receiver of a message sent remotely by a message box (the first symbol after a semicolon). When bang is received in the inlet, the stored message is sent out.
