I'd like to have an OSC message sent whenever I close the Processing sketch (to let the receiving end know the connection is about to be closed, for instance). How would I do that?

Re: Presumably simple oscP5 question Reply #2 - May 5th, 2010, 1:16am   you can try adding the following to your sketch: Code: void stop() {  // the remote address of the receiving end  NetAddress myRemoteLocation = new NetAddress("127.0.0.1",12001);  OscMessage myMessage = new OscMessage("/connection/closed");  myMessage.add("i stopped running.");  oscP5.send(myMessage, myRemoteLocation);  super.stop(); } stop() is called whenever a sketch has stopped, dont forget to add super.stop() to call PApplet's stop() function for cleaning up. best, andreas
