hi there,

I'm controlling a grid with movement, and want the grid to send a bang when activated on that square. I only want the bang to trigger when the square is activated and then not trigger until revisited after other squares.

Have tried using change, but doesn't seem to stop the squares keep triggering when the dot hasn't left that square yet.

any ideas why?

thanks

This is strange. I'm wondering if there's something going on with [grid] that's causing it to spit out badly-formatted numbers or something. It seems that is occasionally rounding down, so I tried padding the output of [grid] with [+ .5]. Even after the [+ .5], it will still occasionally be an int, and then rounds it down to the int below.

thanks maelstrom,

any other object or idea that i could use that works like [grid].

I'm guessing i could just program in some numbers that trigger by using [select] but it would be t if i had a large area for the trigger.

thanks

here's one of Chris McCormick's patches that works as a grid substitute.

i modified it very slightly, but it should be quite obvious what it does.

by the way, it has one minor glitch, that if you open up the abstraction and then close it again, the data structure loses focus, and you won't see the controller ball anymore. You can just send a value to the inlet to refresh and then you'll see it again.
