Accessing function in another script from Interface

[ustk]

It's in the title, is there a way to achieve that?
Global system seems to be only for variables. I tried to use a component as global for its callback, but at init the interface script complains, like if the global component in the external script is not yet declared.

Also, if I declare the global component in the interface, its callback is not triggered if placed the scripFX.
I know this is dirty and violates encapsulation, but still, we might need to call functions in a scriptFX right?

So in short, the goal is to trigger some computation in a scriptFX function from the interface (and pass data to it)

Side question: does it mean that at init, scripts are declared AND preset recalled one by one? Not all declared THEN preset recalled?

Put the function in an external file and include it in every place it's required.

@d-healey Thanks
I think I see what you mean but I might have explained myself badly so here's a simple snippet:

@ustk You can't access a function in another script like that, the function would need to be in the script that is calling it or an external file. Possible solutions:

• Use a timer callback in the second script and check a global variable, when the global variable changes the timer can trigger the function.
• Call the function from a control callback in the second script and trigger the control's callback from the first script.

[ustk]

@d-healey That's what I thought...
I'm currently working on the second solution, it might work for my case :)

[ustk]

@d-healey Well, that seems good on the paper, but once you added a DSP to the scriptFX, you cannot access its components from interface anymore... They are probably replaced with the DSP parameters only... @Christoph-Hart ? I'm out of luck with anything I try these days

So a little update. I tried unsuccessfully the first option with a timer that checks a global variable.
But Hise crashes as soon as you start a timer panel in a scriptFX...

This is a no end problem => no timer, parameters not accessible from outside if a DSP is present, functions not accessible from interface, and tables don't connect to scriptnode...
Now I wonder how we can update the node tables from UI, it seems that I tried everything...

[Christoph Hart]

Actually there's a function to disable the DSP network grabbing the parameter callbacks:

const var dsp = Engine.createDspNetwork("dsp");

dsp.setForwardControlsToParameters(false);

However the API popup for the DSP network object doesn't work, so it's very easter-eggy right now. Also the function doesn't work at all right now, so I gotta look into it anyway.

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart Oh that is good news!
Will it affect the access to DSP Parameters? I hope not…
