I'm looking for a way to get a countdown off of a [counter] and then get it to stop, essentially start the counter at 10, and then stop it a 0...I have tried a couple of methods using a toggle triggering the [metro] driving the counter to shut off but this seems kind of ginchy. Just starting out, somewhat Max/Jitter literate, but sould use some help.

stop-the-clock

I didn't bother using counter but you could of course just get the numbers out of counter invert the range and then use either [sel 0] or [== 0] to turn off the counter.

Thanks! Will plug this in an see how it works!

I think the solution I am looking for is a little more complex than I thought...essentially I am using this "countdown" object in a slideshow in which I want an image in a jit.matrix to appear, stay on screen for an interval, and then fade out. This would also need to reset to it's original state. I think what you sent will help, and I'm going to keep trying but if you have other suggestions please help!

I cannot help with the Jitter but I made something a little simpler maybe and it does the clocking bits you want at least.

Ha brilliant Roman - straight to the point :) They don't have that in PD so I got used to the other way. Cheers.

Stop the clock?
