bang-filter-very-annoying-probably-stupid-problem

Ok THIRD TIME LUCKY POSTING THIS QUESTION!!!!

IS there any way to filter out bangs, whilst allowing valuable information like number, to pass through.

In this patch, any change in the number box at the top sends out a bang. The match at the bottom blocks these bangs until the "one" is detected, at which point it lets the one through, along with all the bangs. Instead of just a single bang.

Please help this tired and amateur max learner out.

Sorry if this is short, it'sthe 3rd time i've typed this out. my computer is hobbling.

I'll go try that. I'd tried three times to post correctly, and the server/my computer/me kept messing up. I was frustrated, and yes, I shouted.

Thank you.

please please forgive me for being stupid.

I did what both you guys suggested, and it didn't act as planned.

I can get a number through, but I want the number, without all the bangs that come through with it. One is fine, i'd expect that because the number changed. But once it isn't changing any longer, I'd like the bangs not to come through.

This code has the route object in, with route bang as suggested.

What are we supposed to be looking for? I see a [>] (which puts out 0  
or 1) connected to a [route bang].

you're looking for change, aren't you? By the way, your patch have 

also problems with integer operations: you use ">" in integer mode, 

and a integer number box to works with floats...

You need to use the [change] object. See my modification of your example

You need to use the [change] object. See my modification of your example 
patch below.

int will be able to store a number, bang will send it.

read the tutorials. Almost everything in max sends bangs. its how it

i have not looked at yourt patch, but maybe there

if you do not need "i 10,000" for example you

could just ue a [route 10000] to filter out bangs.

Did you ever read the help file of button? I guess not!

This is very basic. button accepts anything and converts it into a bang.

Your example patch seems to have nothing to do with the above question, 

none of the patchchords does carry a bang and toggle never outputs a bang.

If you want to filter any type, look into route. [route bang] for

Seems to be necessary, this thread went on too long for such a thing...

Bang filter? Very annoying, probably stupid problem.
