Max Tut 8 - 'Intelligent patch' doesn't work
Nothing happens when I wire this up - nothing happens when I hold down the mouse !! ??????
Let's use some of these objects and techniques to create a patch that works "intelligently" based on keyboard and mouse activity. Create two metro objects with arguments of 250, and connect button objects to their outlets – these will be our test subjects. Using the left-most patch as a starting point, connect the left-most outlet of mousestate (which reports the mouse button state) to the left inlet of the two metro objects. Lock the patch and verify that pressing the mouse button turns on the metro objects, and releasing them causes the metro objects to stop.
Er...it works now - only if a toggle object is connected to a metro 100 object - then that is connected to the inlet of mousestate -- tutorial not too clear here.......
But the numpad doen nothing on this patch (end of tut 8) what's going on here ?
I have the same issue here. This tutorial does not work. Help please? I have tweeted to @cycling74, I hope they get back to me.
It seems like Metro needs to come before the Mousestate object in the signal path... All the previous examples do it this way.
I solved this, the language sounds like you are supposed to build your own patch from scratch, when in fact you should be adding the elements in the exercise to the left-most PROVIDED example patch.
@Raja, no it means that I actually tweeted a question to them, that's what Twitter is for! :) A direct, nearly real time public connection to a corporation generating a conversation that others can benefit from as well!
