Can't animate Attributes in Wire?

Hello!

I'm trying to use the new 'attribute' flow to dynamically change the number of instances of an object. But I can't find a way to connect 'size' to anything that animates. Am I misunderstanding something, or is it just not meant to be possible to change 'size' dynamically?

I tried using an 'int in' to animate the value inside Arena, but no gear icon shows up, so I can't animate there either...

You're going from a Square (Event) to a Diamond (Attribute) signal flow is why.

Changing an attribute, your patch will re-compile. You don't want to animate Attributes ;)

OK, so I understood it correctly? It's not possible to animate the number of instances at the moment?

Not directly, but you can have it follow the size of other stuff, like slices you pass from Resolume.
What would you like to do in your patch?
