Hi,

I'm trying to sort out a method of only allowing one bang through from multiple inputs then creating a time delay before another bang is let through. The problem is each bang has to send a bang to a corresponding message box. If i put all the inputs through a single one bang object at the other side, bangs are sent to all message boxes. I have set it up with a series of one bang objects and this lets one bang through from each input during a time delay but ideally i want only one bang let through from any of the inputs within the time delay.

I tried to attach an example but its not letting me attach the file.

Thanks.

attach each bang to a message box:

[bng]
|
[1 (

[bng]
|
[2 (

etc....

then,

[sel 1 2 3 4 ....]

and then add the time delay to the outlets of the [sel] object

This could be really usefull but i'm not sure it will work for this. The idea is that there will be ten sensors hooked up to PD each one represents a number 1-10. Each sensor will trigger a different message box to send a variable to Flash. I'm trying to solve the problem of two sensors being pressed at the same time or in rapid succession. I want the patch to let one bang through from a sensor to its corresponding message box then create a delay of 5-10 seconds before the next bang is let through. The problem comes when i use a onebang object the sensor input no longer travels to only the correct message box. The sel object will only let one bang through at a time but i am not sure how to delay it so only one bang will be let through every 5-10 seconds.

Thanks for the advice hardoff, much appreciated

I think it will be easier to answer if we could see your design. So if you don't mind upload the patch - or some bits of it at least.

Is it something like the attached patch your thinking of. Because this works with my keyboard.
