hi!

this could have several reasons:

 - if you are using graphical bangs they don't blink when triggered at 
high rates

 - possibly be the number doesn't appear in the stream - try to use 
"print" and look if the number is actually there. the line object only 
outputs some numbers between its start and end. if you want to have all 
integer numbers between start and end you could use counters, see 
attached patch.

- the value is a float value and doesnt exactly match the value to be 
compared with, even when displayed as equal when using a number to 
display them. to solve this either use an [int] object before comparing 
the numbers or give a range, for example to compare 4 and 4.000000001 to 
be "equal" you could use 4 - 4.000000001 <= 0.001
