Does it works with faders too? I have replaced
The "Multislider" with the name of my fader
in the script but it dosent work... What am I
doing wrong?

it wouldn't work with Faders because faders cannot be multi - like the sliders. Create an empty expression, call it Multifader, and in there type

{Fader1.x, Fader2.x, .......} and so on. be carefull to use the names of your faders in there.

Replace in the codes given wherever you see 
MultiSlider.x

with 
Multifader
and wherever you see 
Multislider.x[]
with 
Multifader[]
..... Be carefull to not change any data inside the brackets - for example if you have "Multislider.x" replace it "Multifader"

I think it should work then!

Ok here you go, here's an example!

tutorial_storing_faders.jzml

@Macciza if you read this: if we have a vector

Multifader= {Fader1.x, Fader2.x, Fader3.x}

Is there a way to quickly retrieve the contents of the vector as strings I mean we cant script, for example

for (i=0; i<16; i++)
{
setexpression('MultiFader','x', 12+i)
}

Actually what Im asking is.....can what I achieved above by creating two vectors, one for the actual fader values and one for the Fader object names can be achieved in any other way, more elegantly?
I guess it would involve "for" loops and getobject(), nextobject() functions correct?

No wait I've got it!

here it is! declaring the first object (fader) as a variable, and getting the next one in each iteration of "i".....Hoorayyyy!

@Jenz.....be carefull THIS version will only work if your faders are one after the other in the "tree" structure - in other words if you have named them wisely enough so that they appear alphabetically one next to the other. Of course yous till have to fill the "Multifaders" vector with the correct values (fadernames followed by .x)

If for some reason you cant do this....then try the previous example and of course replace in the vectors "Multifaders" and "Faders" with the actual names of your faders.
