String Structure Hold & Delay timerAnyone have an idea for how to delay a string structure by a specific time before it's passed onto the rest of the composition? Basically I have a string structure input node fed into the composition which is then seperated into string components which are then passed through to several "Image with String" nodes to display the results. I would like to add a timed delay (user selectable 5-10 sec) from when the string is first read to when it is ultimately displayed. The timer must then restart when a new input string is detected and then display the new string data when the user selectable 5-10sec timer has expired. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? Like this: 1) Detects String input 2) Holds string data and 5-10sec timer begins 3) Displays String as Image once timer is finished 4) Continues to display String data until 5-10 seconds after a new String input has been detected 5) etc...

Something like: Stop Watch for patch time > conditional for threshold > multiplexer to pass string when conditional goes to 1. Watcher+logic can reset/restart Stop Watch when string changes.
what out if your using this formula in an iterator stopwatch don't function how you might think (although they do function correctly) use this http://kineme.net/forum/Discussion/DevelopingCompositions/Howtoovercomes...
Thank-you!!! I ended up using it slightly differently then what was suggested but your ideas were exactly what I needed to know to pick the right nodes to get things working. Perfect!!! Thanks again my fellow Kinemites!!!
