Hi, quite a simple question I think! I have two number boxes which have constantly changing variables. But number boxes output a bang when they change, which is the problem as I want to add these two numbers together ONLY when a seperate bang is sent!

So there are 3 inputs a bang which activates the addition, and two variables which are added together. Any ideas from anybody?

connect the number boxes to left inlets of int/float objects. outputs of these then go into the + object. when you need to calculate, send a bang to left inlets of int/float objects. mind the right to left order!

The problem is when the numbers change as they re variables, these will then also send a bang through to complete the calculation, which is what I don't want it to do!

Basically theres two boxes I can drag up and down with a number in, and at certain points I want to add them together, but only when I send a bang, not the int/float box sending one everytime it changes.

the inlets/outlets are labeled are labeled.

Im not sure what you mean, sorry! Here is an image of what I have as an example! The patcher at the top alters the numbers which then come down! And the bang is sent by the user to add the numbers together!

Here's a clip-patch which implements the first solution posted (with the

correction of using the right inlet of the [int] objects, which I think

the poster intended). I deleted the mail already so I'm neglecting the 

credit, sorry. I think this is the simplest way.

I kinda get you know, but am new to the forums, and not sure how to open the text files into max! I have it on my desktop and opened it into max, but it's still just a string of text!

I got it, cheers so much for your help, it is so much appreciated, sorry for being a bit too simple!

use an int object between the left inlet of the + object and the number box. bang as needed.

Alternitively, you could add a "prepend set" object between the left input of the + object and the number box, then bang the left input of the + object when you want an addition.
