Hi, for some reason I cannot work out how to do this.

I have a bang being sent to a toggle turning it on and off. (e.g. 1 bang is on, and another bang is off). But I want the toggle to automatically turned off 10 milliseconds after it is turned on(e.g before the next bang has time to occur.) Therefore the incoming bang should only really be used to turn the toggle on.

I worked out one way to do it using metro and counter, but I require 5 versions of this mechanism to control 5 different toggles separately. After pasting multiple versions max msp crashed!

Not sure if this is what you're getting at, but why don't you just use your bang to send a 1 to the toggle - that way it can only ever turn it on.

...And in fact you can accomplish exactly the same thing as the example I suggested without the 1 and 0 messages:

for some reason when a bang is sent to the above patches the toggle never seems to be turned on... I'm baffled!

10ms is too short to guarantee that that it will ever be drawn on

working properly.
