I have been searching for an object which would give bang if it receives no activity from the source in specified time, is there any? My situation is this: I have webcam giving numbers and playing soundfiles, i would like to have it so that when the webcam detects no movement (no number changes) it would start fade out on sound. Only thing what I found was by using delay object, so that when there is 0 it would start the delay object and then there is another bang for lets say in 1, so if there is movement it bangs the stop parameter in delay. but this is not very nice way to do it and there is lot of bangs happenings so I was wondering if there would be nicer way to do it? Thanks! And sorry for my n00bie questions, I just havent found out anything from the net or from max.
