UDP Receiver - multidata

Hello people, I'm using the UDP Receiver to read some OSC data. When I press any button on the OSC Simulator, it send a new message into GH, but only in one line. not all the data from the program. I don't know if it is a problem that I can solve in GH or my OSC Simulator have to be rewritten so that this GHowl component can read a multiline data.

Thanks people!

Hmm not sure whats going on as we cant see whats happening in the sending program. Normally OSC values only get sent when they change and their last state is not "frozen" automatically. You have to do this in the sending software setting it up that it sends all values all the time. Again, I am not sure if you can edit the sending software, because I am not sure that in grasshopper you have the required tools to do that. And you would have to receive all values at the beginning to get some initial values. In MIDI terms this is called sending a "MIDI Snapshot" - ie. sending all current values at once, so they can be stored and updated once they change. I hope that makes sense.

Whats the sending software programmed with? Looks like its a Java application. I dont think it has to be rewritten. Just send all values once at the beginning. I am sure there is a way to send more than one value already, like moving more than one slider at a time. If not that would be the first thing, because then it can also work with all values at once. If you have no way to buffer values on the gh side, then just ALWAYS send all values at the same time.
