oscP5 Message Recieved trigger function

EtJA

Hi there i´m sending a message from one to another sketch and i want the receiving sketch to trigger an function everytime it receives a message.

could i call a void oscEvent that only trigger when a new message comes in? or is it easier to make a kind of if statement within draw?

If you are working and modifying the canvas, you should do it within draw(). This is the logic I would use:

boolean anEvent=false;

void setup(){
  size(400,600);
}

void draw(){

  if(anEvent==true){

      (...HERE you add the code related to your received event)

      anEvent=false;  //Prepare for next event. Don't forget this step
  }
}

void your_received_data(){
  anEvent=true;
}

Where the function your_received_data() refers to the oscEvent() function provided by your OSC session.
