ui_label and make_persistent

Hi all!

I have a ui_label png image showing the percentage values of a knob, when i save my project in the DAW and open it again i see that the knob is still in the same value but the ui_label is back to 0, i know that because i'm using make_persistent for the knob so it's saved and i also know that make_persistent can't be used with ui_label is there a way around that?

 

You need to set_text() of the label in persistence_changed callback.

 

I have set_text() here is my code:

Code:

 declare ui_label $Percent(0, 20)
 set_text ($Percent,"")
 hide_part($Percent,   $HIDE_PART_TITLE)
move_control_px($Percent, 100, 100)
set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($Percent),  $CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE, "Percent_img")

 

Yeah, so then you need to move that set_text() to "on persistence_changed" callback and print the knob value you want. The label should be declared as (1, 1), not (0, 20), and there's also no need to $HIDE_PART_TITLE, that one doesn't apply to ui_labels...

 

Can you give me an example in the code please i've never worked with on persistence_changed before

 

Just put set_text() in that callback and that's it. Example is in KSP reference.

 

Thanks for your response!
Can you tell me which page exactly on the KSP Manual that you are referring to?

 

Difficult to find an similar example to yours but by searching in this KSP manual with the keywords: set text label, we can see the usage.

For information: Sets the control text, similar to set_text () _
It's written on page 256 of KSPmanual but no similar situation to yours. To find it, carrying out a search with the search engine of this forum can also help you.

 

set_text_label() applies to ui_knob only, not ui_label, though.

 

Ah, sorry for my wrong explanation .

 

Yeah i've been working with the KSP manual examples all night yesterday without any luck...

 

Perhaps with your entire script, that would be easier ...?

 

Here:

Code:

on init
 make_perfview
  set_ui_height_px(200)

declare ui_slider $fx01(0, 20)
  hide_part($fx01,  $HIDE_PART_BG .or. $HIDE_PART_MOD_LIGHT .or. $HIDE_PART_TITLE .or. $HIDE_PART_VALUE)
  set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($fx01),  $CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"fx_img")
  move_control_px($fx01, 50, 100)
  set_control_par(get_ui_id($fx01), $CONTROL_PAR_MOUSE_BEHAVIOUR, -1000)
  $fx01 := 500000
 make_persistent($fx01)

 declare ui_label $Percent(0, 20)
 set_text ($Percent,"")
move_control_px($Percent,  100, 100)
set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($Percent),  $CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE, "Percent_img")

end on
on ui_control ($fx01)
set_control_par(get_ui_id($Percent),$CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE_STATE ,$fx01)
end on

 

That's pretty inefficient if you're gonna use a graphic for all the % values... You could just use a custom picture font in Kontakt 6 instead.

At any rate, copy your set_control_par() line into "on persistence_changed" callback.

 

As i mentioned before i really don't know how to add the persistence_changed the only examples i saw on KSP manual that includes persistence_changed have function.. I'm still a rookie lol

 

So replace that function from that example to that single line you have in ui_control callback... It's a callback like any other, it is created like any other...

 

I did but no luck

 

What do you mean "no luck"? You get any error message, or?

 

yeah i just keep getting errors

 

What is the exact code you're having there? Paste it all.
