Had a difficult morning and wanted to do something useful with those feelings.

num(timed)-help.pd
num(timed).pd

Note: It will throw errors if the inlet is not sent a float.

May you find it useful.

Peace through helping.

@svanya This might also work: num_timed.pd

This also sets [change] to an unlikely value, so zero can pass at the beginning and the same number can pass after the delay

@ingox
Thank you.
Very clean.

Peace
