Re: Messaging (was: Possible bug in system node -11)

[James C. W. <jfc...@ya...>]

Is this what you meant?
Including this in node 34: 
onenternode(function() medCtr_recordsRoom = pipmak.thisnode() end)

And the message to 34:
medCtr_recordsRoom:message("lightFlicker")

If I do that pipmak says medCtr_recordsRoom has no "message" function.

Thanks,
  James

34 is a number and doesn't have a "message" method (numbers don't have methods at all, which explains the error message). What you want is the node object that represents node 34. How to obtain that depends on how you displayed node 34 - see section 3.6.3 "Node Objects" in the manual. (If node 34 is not being displayed, no node object for it exists and you can't message it.)
