<![CDATA[[ANSWERED] Smoother and Multi Blocker actors]]>Hello, is the Smoother actor identical to the Multi Blocker actor, but also has smoothing capabilities from 0 to 1?

They both have a frequency/time input... if i set smoothing to 0 am assuming the Smoothers output would be identical a Multi Blockers - right?

But then why have both actors?

Cheers, Mr J

I should have been more specific with my question. If input a constant stream of changing numeric values into a Smoother and a Multi Blocker with the Smoother's smooth setting set to 0, the output of both will be the same as i increase/decrease their corresponding frequency/time inputs - right?

i didn't know you could multiblock video. i think i've only ever used it for triggers. thanks. :)

 theoretically it can be used for any data type, so text, color, etc. Not sure what happens when you try to use it with weird ones like skeleton and blob.
