Hi, Im really new to coding and have only been playing around with C for the last few days. Im doing really well with my external and have implemented lots of working functions.

I am now trying to implement a counter like function that has four stages to it from taking metro bangs into one of its inlets. the idea is that it will say count from 1 to 6 then 1 to 8 then 1 to 3 then 1 to 5, the values will be variables and I have successfully got these variables working, the only stage i can't work out is how to create this "count" part.

Ive managed to get it to work on one cycle using if and else if statements.

But once it has completed the four counts it stops. I figure I need a while loop to achieve this but can't seem to get the first stage to count let alone all for.

When I send a bang into the inlet I get the value that should be the last count out of the inlet.

outlet_int(x->MetroOutput, x->TalaCount1 * x->MaargamStoredSub - x->MaargamStoredSub + 1);

}Hi, Im really new to coding and have only been playing around with C for the last few days. Im doing really well with my external and have implemented lots of working functions.

The bang is working correctly up until this stage as it works for if and else if.

I just don't understand how to create a while loop using a bang.

If anyone could help I would highly appreciate it.

Here is the if and if else statements that work.

Is there a way I could get the if statements to start again?

else if (x->TalaCount2 < x->TalasStored2){

outlet_int(x->MetroOutput, x->TalaCount2 * x->MaargamStoredSub - x->MaargamStoredSub + 1);

else if (x->TalaCount3 < x->TalasStored3){

outlet_int(x->MetroOutput, x->TalaCount3 * x->MaargamStoredSub - x->MaargamStoredSub + 1);

else if (x->TalaCount4 < x->TalasStored4){

outlet_int(x->MetroOutput, x->TalaCount4 * x->MaargamStoredSub - x->MaargamStoredSub + 1);

    if (x->TalaCount4 == x->TalasStored4){
        x->TalaCount1 = 0;

I used an else statement and set all the values back to 0 except the first, setting that to 1 and sending that out of the outlet :)

I've sorted it,
