Confusing Button Default Values

[A Former User]

Hey first public post here :)

I'm having some weird trouble with Buttons. When Compiling (or loading in a DAW) the only button that can start on by default is the fourth one (16). When I compile or export with any other button enabled (including with defaultValue=1), it's disabled upon opening (VST).

I basically want Ratio 4 to be the default when opening the plugin, but currently only Ratio 16 saves on as default. I'll post a video of what I mean. I have some code that disables the other buttons whenever one is selected, which I believe is the culprit, I just can't figure out why. It's like somewhere in the oninit it's calling a value change for the 16 Ratio button, which calls the other script, turning off everything else.

I've tried:

• Using defaultValue in the GUI Editor.
• Scripting setValue(1); in oninit script after referencing the control.
• Exporting after saving the project with Ratio 4 enabled.
• Making new buttons.
• Moving script around.
• Using 1-Value in the exclusivity script for button-switching.

Nothing changes, the only default-activating button is Ratio 16 (and the Compressor is set to Ratio 16 on initialization).

And here's the code, sorry for the messy labelling, the buttons in question are Button1, Button2, Button3, Button4 (with Button4 being the only one that works). The functions are in the "Setting Ratios" section.

My first guess is you have saveInPreset enabled on your radio buttons? Therefore any value you set in on init will be overwritten once the control values are restored.

@d-healey thank you! Of course it was that simple, I feel dumb.

now time to make this UV meter work
