Trigger bang a string (like in max)

vvvv beta question
#1

Hello,

i want to be able to do different things with one keypress.
for example, first keypress loads video a, sets speed to x, and sets quad to a certain size
second loads video b, sets speed to y and sets quad to another size
and so on.
i know that i could do that with many switches and multiflipfops and getslices. in max for example that would be much more easy. with a sth. like

bang-trigger(string, int, …)

besides making a subpatch with every set of settings and switching them,
is there a simpler way ?
thanks againg for your help

#2

automata is kinda for that…
but no there is no easy way sadly

#3

I would do something like this

EDIT: corrected the connection from the counter.

SimpleSequence2.v4p (16.0 kB)

#4

note the output of the counter should go into the index input of the top left getslice, not the separate

#5

hello thanks for all the advice, i will use something like this for sure.
but sometimes i will have a lot more commands, lets say for 10 videos with quads,
would it be a big difference in performance if i would load a subpatch with the settings (lets say 4 spreads with 10 number slices, 10 spreads with strings and 10 buttons ?)
