A Javascript block with:
"output[0] = !output[0];"
seems to work nicely.
Of course, you need to connect an input to something which will
always be updating (e.g. a Patch Time block) in order to ensure that
the Javascript block itself is evaluated.
I'm still curious to know if there's a better (or more general way)
to do this sort of thing in QC.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Shaun, list,
Thanks for the suggestion: Mod 2 is a nicer way to constrain the
Counter's output but how to get the counter to advance each frame?
When I made the first post, I had assumed this was automatic but as
soon as I looked carefully I realised that toggles on the inputs
are counted... and this is obviously just what I'm trying to generate.
Thanks again,
Daniel

I'm just getting started with quartz composer and for my first
trick, I thought I'd play with some flicker effects. In order to
make this somewhat FPS independent I'm looking for a block or
patch method to toggle a number (int or boolean) each time the
view is rendered.
Suitable generators (e.g. LFO with square wave) seem to have
periods in real time. An obvious fudge (using a 0 period or
period less than the frame period) doesn't seem to give my
intended effect... it correctly samples the specified waveform.
The other obvious approach -- using a Conditional or Logic block
looped back on itself -- doesn't seem to be allowed as a valid
patch. The same issue seems to preclude using a counter with
reset caused by a chained conditional.
My first working attempt is a Counter followed by a Range and
then taking the Rolled-Over Value.
Is there a better way? And more generally, is there a general
buffer block to allow loops to be formed?
