I have a problem that is very basic (but I don't know how to solve it)

What I'm trying to do is to have from a output from Cyclops (the value of a number changes very fast) 2 answers: on/off (1 or 0). if the number from Cyclops output is < of (let's say) 30 then off, if is > 30 then on. I used the object if to do that but EVERYTIME the number is under 30 it output 1 and what I need is that when it goes uder 30 will be just one "bang" (let's say: 30 - bang, 29/27/27 etc.. no bang), i need just the firstone, untill it get back to a value >30.

I tryed also with "select 30" but some times max doesn't see 30 he jumps from a higher value to a loweer value.

"text" : "if you move fast the slider he doesn't output the number 50, he jups",

for the second part u could use the onebang object.. so it bangs only the first time ur under 30 and then reset it through the right inlet when ur over 30 again

Hi Bluelemur, intriguing how difficult that is and interesting that the selewct doesn't pick up on the number when you move the slider really fast. I tried fixing your problem with the onebang as kestaya said but this doesn't work because of the if object repeatedly evaluating the incoming value and so repeatedly outputting a 1 or a 0 every time the number changes. I have however made this which should fix your problem, although there must be a better way of doing this.

as Luke said the change object helps a lot in this situation. You could adapt Benny's patch and incorporate [change], or use this patch
