Hi!
are there any built-in objects that behave like you are expecting [urn] to behave? (apart from outputting unique random numbers, that is)
I expected to be like second outlet from textfile object: on the end of sequence you get bang. That what I expected from urn because it was writen in help patch.
obviously, if it's described in the help-patch it has to behave like that (that is why i don't describe features in the help-patches ;-))
would be ok (for everybody, not just you) if the empty bang had to be triggered separately (just like in [textfile])?
e.g. [urn 3] would output 3 random numbers; when banged a 4th time, it would (only) output a bang at the right-hand side; when banging a 5th time it would output a random number again.
this is somewhat weird, as banging the object 40 times will only give you 30 random numbers (but for those who don't care about the wraparound but really want 40 numbers instead, they could just feedback the 2nd outlet to the left inlet)
it would be interesting to know whether there are objections from other users of this object.
I must say i rather like [urn] as it is. I agree that it's weird to have the bang inserted into the random number stream when it already has it's own specific outlet.
