I've been trying to work out what object i need to fulfill my needs but i cant work it out.

Is there an object that will only send a bang when a new number is received? so a constant stream of numbers is always being sent to it, but it only bangs when the number changes.

Basically i have a joystick which (due to the requirements of my patch) constantly outputs the number 1 when stationary. i want it to send a stream of bangs when the joystick is moved, but not when stationary.

ive looked in the reference manual and tutorials but cant find it.

Print out the Object Thesaurus and keep it by your toilet ('bathroom', if

you prefer) - see the post about printed manuals,

Or trial and error, sometimes type the object you imagine, by the name 
you imagine, and sometimes it exists... (In your case "change" was all 
over your question... ;-)

I do that as well, and if it doesn't exist a new abhaXion will be 
born... ;-)

I use maxobjects.com like this. Usually a couple of keywords will 

bring up what I want. I am such a pack rat for third party objects 

that maxobjects.com is usually the quickest way to remember the name 

of something I probably already have but can't find because the OSX 

search feature refuses to guess what I mean.
