Hello,

I am working on creating an interactive animation on puredata. Basically what I have been trying to do is to use the key and select [sel] objects to bang a +1 into the number box which corresponds to a Translate object. I figured I would move the object back and forth so I set up a chain to bang +1 and another to bang -1. I was expecting the + and the - to work on the same number in the number box. As in if I bang +1 twice and -1 once I would end up with 1, so the object would move two 'steps' forward and one 'step' backward so to speak. However The two bangs seem to work independently. Each chain picks up from where it left off instead of referring back to a common number on the number box. I have attached a screenshot of the patch, as I suspect my description might be somewhat muddy

Try connecting the outlets of [- 1] and [+ 1] to the right inlets of *both* [f ] objects.
