hi

im new into pd.. i try out the reactivision project.. i think you know it.
( a camera reads out xy coordinates and angles form different objects and sends it via osc)

to my problem:

i checked the distance between 2 objects. if the value is below a variable, it gives 1, otherwise 0
it works for the object connected to the right connetor but not hn i move the one on the let..

also i have some problems, with multipling 0/1 values.. lets say:

i have two values that both can get 0 or 1 and i multipli them.. when the righ value gets 0 everything works fine and the ourput is 0 too, but when the left one gets 0 i have to update the right ones value to get it working.

also with other values.. when i do a math process on them, i have to change boths values to get correct outputs!

where is my failure.. i think its a thing pd acts with values, i din'T know.. i think you know what i mean..

otherwise i can upload my very buggy patch to show

thanks

if i correctly understood your problem, check out the PD Documentation. You will found an explanation in 2.Control.examples/3.Connections.pd

you can connect your right number box to a [trigger bang float] (aka [t b f] ) and then the right outlet to the right inlet of the math processor and the left one to the left inlet

[> xy] [> xy]
\ |
\ [t b f]
\ / /
\ / /
\ / /
\/ /
[+ ]

this way your number is primary floated into math processor in its cold inlet, then a bang is sent to the hot one

this way it should work

thanks... you totally understood me the right way!

wow i totally did everthing wrong sometimes i have put the values on the cold side, because it looked better - no crosses

can someone explain, this i done that way?

another question.. searched everywhere, but couldn'T find - i know its somewhere

when i put a number, or message and reload the patch, i first have to bang it, to get its value out of it, right?

so i have to put a startbutton and a bang in front of every value, i have to use from beginning? i tried loadbang, but somehow this didnt work.

is that the right way? or can setup an value output from beginning?

thanks

loadbang should work, you must be doing something wrong.
