Open/Close gate following information traffic

Hi,
is there a way for a gate to act like this :
If some information is coming it's close, if no information it's open, (and bang the last value).

or maybe I'm missing an object that can do this ?

live objects are not clever enough to distinguish
between received values and mouse entered ones.
if you want to block mouse moved values, insert mousefilter.
If you want to block any automation ramps and use last stable value,
pass dial outputs zo right float inlet and bang output after some delay time.

those are a line of thought. A blend of those patch would be perfect.
I'm missing an object to do this for now

buddy is used for synchronisation, but maybe I'm missing something ?

all you need is one or the other example posted,
there is no single object I know of that would act like this.
Example with delay is working for both, mouse filter
and data stream, but delay time is critical because
it will delay sending of parameters, and it will pass
some values if they arrive in shorter intervals than set delay time.

I'm giving some try, to find the best solution.
Not so evident because a I have some intern feedback and OSC in out to manage with

post an example of what you are trying to do,
I am sure someone will have a good solution at hand.
