Sync sceneChanger with Ableton's scenes

Beginners
1

So I was able to set up the scenechanger palette following this, and now I’d like to be able to somehow connect the triggering of scenes in TD to me triggering scenes inside Ableton. I have been trying to do it with the abletonClipSlot, referencing the playing slot index to the Next scene option in sceneChanger. The problem is that the scene index in scenechanger seems to be linear, meaning I cannot assign scenes to a number, but rather they are assigned by default. This would be useful only if I wanted to change scenes in TD everyt time I change scenes in Ableton, if that makes sense.

A way to solve this would be to have a way to manually change the index assigned to each scene in sceneChanger. Is this possible? Or is there any other better way to achieve what I am trying to do here?

Inside sceneChanger the opfind1 grabs all the scene’s. You can put a Sort DAT immediately after it if you always want them to be sorted alphanumerically or something, or if you don’t want the list autopopulated, simply replace the opfind1 DAT with your own Table DAT with a column ‘name’ and fill it in any order you like.

Make sure you splice in exactly at opfind1, as both ‘scenes’ and ‘sceneIndex’ need your scene list.

Creating a DAT as you suggested seems to be working for me so far. I can make a specific list of which scenes will be triggered through that. Figuring out how to actually trigger them has been confusing (very new to this), but as far this questions goes, it seems to be the way!
Thanks for your help!
