Wave generator set to random mode

Reinhard

Initially it was this thread (http://troikatronix.com/troikatronixforum/discussion/2161/shapes-exercise-homework-task#latest) and eight's comment about 'perlin noise' that let to reading about it, but as I am not a coder at all, wanted to create a kind of 'noise generator' with the onboard possibilities of Izzy, found the wave generator with a random mode - but unfortunately there was no wave.

Basically what I build here is an envelope generator with two segments, given rates but the values created by two random actors and while the envelope is busy in segment two value2 is passed to value0 and it starts all over again. So I get a continuous but random generated output.

Sorry for the mess in the patch, that happened with my attempt to reach that if I stop the motion and restart it, it should continue with the same value as stopped. Needs a full cycle to continue but works now - most of the time...

Attached new versions - and now is the time to find something useful to do with it :-)

Ok.. I'm away from my machine right now... but it think you might like the outcome of connecting the wave generators random output to a 'smoother' actor. Set the smoother to something like '0.9' This should give you a motion to the vales being output. I have used this method to create random waves I the past.

Dear @DusX,

damn it! That's easy, but as a good father I like my child more, it's much more fluid.

Thanks

Can anybody please confirm that if you press the start button in controls something happens that looks as if wanted...

Yes.. I see that it works on my system.. liking what you did with the collision scene.

Here is another little random drifter.. I have used for many experiments. I see now that by switching the wave type, and the second smoother setting.. that is output range could be increased.. but its served me well so far.

@DusX

Thanks for the actor - interesting to see how people use stuff. In your IUA you kind of misused a 'multiblocker' as a pulse generator. Would definitely like to see more patches here!

And thanks for checking. Meanwhile I built a little game around that collision scene. Not the next hit in the game scene, but some good practice with Izzy. To be played in a 800/600 preview window.

Ha aha... looking at it.. I see now that the 'misused' multi-blocker was a debug hack that ended up staying there...

I look forward to checking out your game.

OMG Geek out!

Reinhard

Disappointment again. If I open it the first time some strange things happen with triggers (for me) coming out of the blue. I guess it has something to do with my poor understandig of the newly actor behaviour. What makes it even harder to understand is the following: Go through the mess once, click 'again?', play until the obviously unwanted messages are gone, deactivate and jump to the start scene manually - from now on it performs like intended happily ever after. Will investigate next week.

Reinhard

It seems to work now - please give it a second try.

After DusX reply here http://troikatronix.com/troikatronixforum/discussion/2188/trigger-text-actor#latest I can name the text actor the bad boy.
