AppData Folder || My Custom presets dont compile....

[d.healey]

@Chazrox factory presets go in an include, user presets go in app data.

You can check where the preset is coming from to know if it's a factory one.

I dont know if this is the best way but it works.

	// Load object IN ---->
	SynthAndFXPresets = SynthAndFXPresetsFile.loadAsObject();
	
	
	// Extract keys from object ---->
	var keyListSynth = [];
	var factorykeyListSynth = FactorySynthPresets;
	
	for (s in SynthAndFXPresets) 
		keyListSynth.push(s);
	
	for (k in factorykeyListSynth)	
	{
		keyListSynth.push(k);
		Console.print(k);
	}
	
	vpSynthPresets.set("items", keyListSynth.join("\n"));

@d-healey can you please just check my homework here please. I think im routing something wrong but I dont see it......yet....

This is my viewport control script:

inline function onvpSynthPresetsControl(component, value)
{
	Console.print(value);
	
	// GET BY INDEX IN CURRENT LIST ------>GET VALUE
	reg currentSynthPreset = vpSynthPresets.get("items").split("\n")[vpSynthPresets.getValue()];
	
	Console.print(value + "name is " + currentSynthPreset + "CURRENTLY SELECTED VPSYNTH");
	
	//Create a list to hold all presets combined.
	local allSynthPresetsNOW = [];
	
	// Declare both lists.	
		// Factory in Local Object
	local factorySynthPresetsNOWB = FactorySynthPresets;	
		// User in AppData Folder
	local presetData = {};	
	presetData = SynthAndFXPresetsFile.loadAsObject();
			
	// Push User Presets to combined list.
	for (p in presetData)
	{
		allSynthPresetsNOW.push(p);
	}

	// Push Factory Presets to combined list. 
	for (f in factorySynthPresetsNOWB)
	{
		allSynthPresetsNOW.push(f);
	}
	
	allSynthPresetsNOW.sortNatural();
		
	// Check 'if preset exists' load presets data from combined list 'allSynthPrestsNOW'. 
	if (allSynthPresetsNOW)
	
								btnHPF.setValue(allSynthPresetsNOW[currentSynthPreset][0]);

*** Im just gonna talk this out here...

1. grab current preset name.
2. create an empty object to hold 'combined' keys.
3. declare both objects. 'factory presets' and 'user presets'.
4. loop/grab key/names from both objects and push them to 'combined' preset names.
5. .sortNatural() 'combined' preset list.
6. Check if 'preset/name/key' exists.
7. if object exists, load values by 'preset name'[viewport value] // Should match sorted list.

As far as my brain can figure out right now, this should work...but obviously not.

@Chazrox

reg variables only go in on init. Use local within inline functions.

You need curly braces

// Check 'if preset exists' load presets data from combined list 'allSynthPrestsNOW'. 
if (allSynthPresetsNOW)

The contents of that if statement looks very hard to maintain.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey how do I combine two objects?

[d.healey]

@Chazrox That can be difficult - I have a whole thread on it somewhere. How many levels deep do you need to combine?

[Chazrox]

@d-healey
Im WILLING! lol

//This is the situation I need, atleast as best as I understood your question. 

objectA[i] + objectB[i] = objectC;

[d.healey]

@Chazrox

What is in objectA and objectB? Give me some dummy data.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey

const var FactoryPresets = { [

"Default": [0,0,0,0],
"Rockin": [9,9,9,9]

]};

const var UserSavedPresets = { [

"Dummy1": [0,0,0,0],
"Dumber1": [9,9,9,9]

]};

// I need this....
const var AllPresetsCombined = {[

"Default": [0,0,0,0],
"Rockin": [9,9,9,9],
"Dummy1": [0,0,0,0],
"Dumber1": [9,9,9,9]

]};

this is an actual preset in my FactorySettings

  "DEFAULT": [
    1.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    382.0,
    20.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    1.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0,
    0.0
  ]

[d.healey]

@Chazrox You have too many square brackets there, but I get the idea. You can combine these with a loop.

Here's an example:

inline function combineObjects(objA, objB)
{
    local result = {};

    for (x in objA)
        result[x] = objA[x];

    for (x in objB)
        result[x] = objB[x];

    return result;
}

If both objects contain an entry with the same key, the one from obj B will be the one that's used.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey That worked great! ok noooooow im done.

**I have 3 other menus. lol
