I've build this patch where i've stored different settings for effects on pattr and i'm looking for a way of these getting triggered every 20 seconds. It sounds really simple but i can't figure out how to trigger a different bang every 20 seconds, can anyone help on this ?

timed-bangs

I'm trying to trigger 4 bangs, one after the other, every 20 seconds and have that function looping. Does it make sense ?

Just curious, you want to trigger different (video)effects every 20 seconds?

Is this what you want to do?

Just noticed, Home Surgery's post, he must have posted that while I was writing mine. Reassuringly they are both pretty similar.

Thanks for this, it's exactly what i was looking for !

I basically want to move from one preset to another every 20 seconds using a line object to make the transition smooth. Here is how I'm thinking of doing this.

Thought they had looked less alike :) Yours is a bit smarter though. Fewer arguments and unnecessary number boxes.

I was thinking my text file was kinda extra specially long :)
