choose different message box with each bang?
Total beginner question...
How can I get this patch
to select consecutively, or randomly, between different message boxes, with each bang?
Oh you want to select something? Try the [select] object!
And some gates. Or you could use a switch. Welcome to Max!
Evan,
thank you very much for your help and swift response.
are the two different toggles basically two different options for workability?
also, I don't understand the subtraction object / "!-" does in this patch.
Very curious, if you have the time to answer again.
A more solid solution with more utility than the one I came up with...
Thank you again
Thank you for this Rabid
an even smaller patch!
This patch helps the "coll" object to make more sense.
I did not know about the "@active 1" as a means of automatically initiating the "metro" object
Raja, always being succinct. It's good practice to hide all those messy conditional things in a coll or javascript, or something similar.
I only added one toggle from the initial patch you provided, to choose between random and sequential. The !- object simply inverts the toggle value, opening one gate when the other is closed and vice versa.
Evan, I see this clarifies your patch in terms of the !- object and its general use.
Interesting to look at the difference between succinct in form and transparent in operation.
Thank you again for all of your help. I hope to be able to help someone else as much as you two have helped me.
