toggle-gate problems

[Eva]

Hello there,

I am trying toclean up a patch and using a toggle and gate actor so that its not so heavy. I have attache the toggle actor to the complete of the "ease in/out actor). If I click on the trigger of the actor to test it, it works - but in reality, most imes it doesnt toggle off the "gate actor". Is there a bug or what can I do to get this to work?Its a bit urgent, I need to send the file tomorrow:)

I have used this in Q3-Q6

Here is my patch:

It’s quite difficult to tell from your patch which actors you’re referring to. The fundamental behaviour of the Toggle Actor is that it switches to the opposite state whenever it’s triggered. That means that if it is already switched to ‘off’ first, it will switch to ‘on’. As your patch is relatively complex (and, sorry, a bit confusing), I can’t say for certain whether the following is a solution. However, if it works for the scene, I’d set the ‘init input’ to ‘on’. That way, the actor would be set to ‘on’ when the scene is activated and switch to ‘off’ when it’s triggered. I hope this helps.

@jfg - ok thank you, I will try that. I set the init of the gate actor to on, so now I guess if I do the same with the toggle, than I know what I do:)Yes, I know, its a bit messy:D sorry about that.
