processing osc messages into action

in Contributed Library Questions • 3 months ago

Hello,

I am new to processing but I am familiar with programming languages/enviroments such as max/msp and supercollider.
I want to receive osc messages on processing from max msp. I have downloaded the oscp5 library and I can see the data I am sending from max to processing. Now the question is...how can I use the integers,floats whatever that I am receiving as values of variables in processing.

To make myself clear enough, how can for instance draw a rect that has for a coordinate an osc integer that I am receiving from max?

thanks in advance,
t

Like this sketch :

Copy code

import oscP5.*;
import netP5.*;
OscP5 oscP5;
int x, y;
void setup() {
size(400, 400);
oscP5 = new OscP5(this, 12001);
}
void draw() {
background(255);
rect(x, y, 100, 100);
}
void oscEvent(OscMessage theOscMessage) {
if (theOscMessage.addrPattern().equals("/adress")) {
x = theOscMessage.get(0).intValue();
y = theOscMessage.get(1).intValue();
}
}

hey,thanks for your quick response.

I checked your sketch however I only get one static rect wich doesn't obey on different x,y values that are being received. I added a print() to see if I still get the osc from max/msp and I get the different values however I can't use them as x,y values. I am pretty sure it has to do with my lack of knowledge in processing but i don't know what I am doing wrong...

plus when i am reading the different values I first get a [0] and then my value from max (on the screenshot that's the number 3). why this is happening? this might be the problem?

finally mushussu can you explain a little bit why are you using get(0) and get(1)?

thanks once again,

ok i've found the solution thanks for the help mushussu. I rushed into writing again and again on the forum. Your sketch was fine the only thing I had to do was to specify on max the word /adress
