Hi all,

I've got a question.

If you have something like this:

 attractor1 = new Attractor();
 attractor2 = new Attractor();
 attractor3 = new Attractor();

with all the rest of the class stuff, can you see in your attractor class which variable you are assigned to? I need to know for each instance of Attractor whether it's attractor1, attractor2, or attractor3.

The way i'm doing it now is, I create a variable inside the attractor class, and I modify it directly after creation, like this:

 attractor1 = new Attractor();
 attractor1.number = 1;
 attractor2 = new Attractor();
 attractor2.number = 2;
 attractor3 = new Attractor();
 attractor3.number = 3

But I think this is not really the proper way to do it, so is there any other way?

you mean like this?

attractor1 = new Attractor(1);
attractor2 = new Attractor(2);
attractor3 = new Attractor(3);

In each Attractor class, I want to send an OSC message over to Pd, while being able to distinguish which message came from which object...
