I'm working on an object that I need to send a trigger out when something specific happens. I looked at a few other objects and it seems the common way to do this is via a bool (yellow) outlet. Is that the best/most axolotic way? I tested and it seems one k-rate pulse (setting it high/true on one pass, and turning it low/false the next pass) is enough, is this also correct?
Pulse/trigger out - best practice
yes, most objects that use triggers work on the 'rising edge' i.e. transition from 0 to 1.
(currently the inlet trigger types are 'documentation' only, i.e the k-rate code handles it, but this may change at some point to avoid this code duplication)
