Re: [PD] Help with special object(s)

Hello list! I have a question for you. I want to make an object that only passes bangs and numbers through when the number it recieves changes. Can anyone help me to do this? DO I need a special external of some sort?

Um, I'm not too clear on what you mean, because from what I understand, you want a trigger--but I'm assuming I'm mistaken. I mean, if you have something like this:

[ 0\ <- number atom | [t b f] <- trigger

it outputs a bang from the left outlet and the number from its right every time the atom changes. If you hooked something else up to the inlet like a string message it gives an error and it won't pass anything but bangs and floats.

I'm confused.
