Load project and have to compile again

[Christoph Hart]

@ulrik Does it print a compile timeout message on the console? If yes, you can raise that limit in the settings.

[ulrik]

@Christoph-Hart No it doesn't print out any timeout messages, only "Skipping changed() callback...."

[aaronventure]

@ulrik could be call order, maybe it's referring to a component that has not yet been created, or a global that's not yet initialized

globals and components persist between recompiles, and globals don't go away even if you remove the code

Oh that reminds me of an idea: I could clear out the globals when you use the "Recompile all scripts" tool function (or Shift + F5), I'm used to close and restart HISE when I need a "full reset", but this should be actually taken care of by that function...

[aaronventure]

@Christoph-Hart Sounds good.

@Christoph-Hart What about unloading fonts too, so you can load a different font with the same pretty name?

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey Maybe I'll ask whether to do that (and if yes I can also clear out the image / audio file pools so you get the "real" first compile experience).

[aaronventure]

@Christoph-Hart Here's an idea:

Once you press the shortcut, the window pops up, has a few checkboxes on what to clear (globals, components, image pool, audio file pool etc).

OK (selected by default so repetitive usage is just +Enter)
Cancel

Remember selection PER PRESET/XML.

Remember selection PER PRESET/XML.

Why? Is there a reason why it shouldn't just be persistent?

Might be a candidate for my new multipage dialogue system.

This is all getting wildly too complicated ....

Come to think of it, no.

[ulrik]

@Christoph-Hart I think I found the reason it didn't update.
I had 6 slider packs in a separate ScriptProcessor, all of them registered with

SLP1.registerAtParent(0);
SLP2.registerAtParent(1);
etc...

In the main script I have 6 slider packs connected to the separate script processors slider packs using this connection:

const Data1= Engine.createAndRegisterSliderPackData(0);
const Data2 = Engine.createAndRegisterSliderPackData(1);
etc...

slp1.referToData(Data1);
slp2.referToData(Data2);
etc...

I chosed that type of connection because I needed a DisplayCallback for each one of those slider packs, I couldn't find any other way to get that type of callback, is there?

Any way, in the external script processor I changed the

SLP1.registerAtParent(0); to use the
SLP1.referToData(Data1); method instead, and that fixed my problem.

What kind of connection is preferred if you can't connect them via the Property Editor?
