Start timer based on the values of the buttons in an array

[Oli Ullmann]

Hello everyone!

I have an array with several buttons. If ALL buttons have the value 0, the timer should be stopped.

If at least one of the buttons has a value greater than 0, the timer should be started.

Simple task but I can't figure it out right now. Does anyone have any ideas?

PS. I could of course implement it in a large if-query, but that would be very awkward...

Many thanks
Oli

@Oli-Ullmann value change broadcaster that has a listener which loops through all these buttons.

If you have the references in an array,use that. If not, you can get it using a filter with Content.getComponents().

The code is simply
For (i in buttonArray)
If (i.getValue()! = 0)
Return

StopTimer

So if they're all 0, return won't be called and it'll stop the timer. If any of them isn't, the function won't get to stopTimer

Sry for formatting, phone.

@aaronventure What about if (myArr.contains(1))? No need for a loop then.

@aaronventure
Good idea, thank you very much! :-) I'll try that.

@d-healey
Did you see that I was talking about the value of the buttons? I don't know how to apply your suggestion to buttons...

[d.healey]

@Oli-Ullmann Ah sorry I misread that. I thought you were storing the button values in an array.

@d-healey
Ah ok. :-)

But another question:

If I use getAllComponents, is there a way to select all components except the components with a specific name?

In my case, I want to select all components except the components that have “UI” in their name. Do you know if this is possible?

@Oli-Ullmann It uses regex so it might be possible - ChatGPT could possibly help but might require some tweaks to its output because HISE regex is none standard

@d-healey
Ok, thank you! :-)

[Oli Ullmann]

@d-healey
Thank you, that worked.
For the “UI” example, the code is as follows:

Content.getAllComponents(“^(?!.*UI).*$”);

@Oli-Ullmann Good to know, I might include that in a video.

Should also work with getAllModulators, getAllEffects, etc.

@d-healey
Yes, that's a great topic for a video! If I had known this earlier, it would have saved me a lot of time and programming effort.
