I'm having trouble using if statements. I have two arguments being sent to an if statement, which checks that they are both 1. When they are both 1, it should cause a bang.

However, it only ever listens and sends a bang when the 

 argument changes, and the second argument is 

 1. For some reason, if $i1 is already 1 and $i2 becomes 1, the if statement doesn't trigger until $i1 gets received again. I have tested it by swapping which variable is $i1 and which is $i2, and it happens the same way.

For my actual project, I am allowing WASD input and letting the user "move" on a 2D axis. If they reach a certain area in the space ((0, 40) to (60, 70)), I want the bang to occur and trigger a sound. I have it all set up here:

The top two statements work perfectly fine and change the number variables to 1. The bottom if statement is the problem. For some reason it doesn't want to send a 1 until it receives an active input for $i1.

Hi,

I'm having trouble using if statements. I have two arguments being sent to an if statement, which checks that they are both 1. When the

It requires input in the left inlet to trigger. Here are a couple of ways to solve

Hey Rick, looks great! I'm not entirely sure how "pak" and "t b i" function but this works beautifully. Thanks a million.

Type either pak or trigger into the text box in the upper right-hand corner of your patcher window and hit return. That should set you straight....

if statement not triggering based on second variable changing?
