Timed boolean toggle?

Hi there,

I was wondering if I could somehow get a boolean toggle to change every x seconds, is it possible? I've attached an image. It obviously doesn't work the way I did it, any suggestions? I need to automatically bake an object every certain amount of time.

If you keep the toggle at True (so the first time the bake is manual), then doesn't it bake the object every 2 seconds?

no, it doesn't, any other suggestion?

I just checked my solution, the timer needs to be connected to the bake component, not the toggle.

No problemo, I missed it the first time as well :)

I use Kangaroo's [Counter] with the [Timer] and then [Modulus] the result to get an odd and even 010101 pattern.

Thanks Danny, I did not know that 1 and 0 is the same as false and true in this case.

In GH, True is anything but 0

Alternatively, you can use a script component to create a toggle:

It doesn't in my case. When I connect 10 sec timer to bake component(in my case, save component but I assume they work practically the same) and turn on boolean to true, it bakes as fast as the computer can, creating numerous duplicates. I want to bake the object every hour but just 1 bake, then turn the boolean off for another hour. Anyone can suggest how to?

Thanks
