[PD] Trigger question

[cyrille henry]

hello,

[trigger b b b b]
  |    |    |    |
  D    C    B    A
will do to A, B, C and D.
if you want to do C and D only depending of the result of B, the best "pd" solution is not to stop the trigger. You should use 2 trigger :
[trigger b b]
|    |
B    A
|
[test result]
|
[select 1]
|
[trigger b b]
  |    |
  D    C

(your test and select can be replace with a single [moses] object, or a spigot, depending on the output of B)

I hope that help
Cheers,
Cyrille

Most things in life would probably be unbearable if we waited until things got difficult to bear before even asking why.

Most languages give you simple ways to break out of a sequence of events, but pd seems to treat it as jumping off a cliff. As I said in my first post, I am asking why, not how to do this, just trying to understand the logic of pd so I can use it better.
