Think about it. You've done a nice VST and you want to make a demo version with some restrictions. No preset load for instance...

This is what I try to do:

The property value "Full ver" holds the status if this is the full version or not.

The bool "Check ver" is used to check if this is the full version.

If "Full ver" is equal to "Check ver" then the load should commence. If not, throw a message.

No matter what I do the load commences without showing the message. So what am I doing wrong?

try the bswitch trig

the button is putting out a trigger, not an int, the trigger is apparently passing straight through you int check.

using a bswitch trig is the same deal but for triggers.

😆 @ your pop up info

I t made me think we should make a "community-synth" in honour of our occaisional visitors ... the forum spammers!

I suggest we call it "the russian bride" with dials such as "Vi4gr@" and "Xann0x" , oh perhaps a "Nigerian businessman" section.

?My pop up? - do you mean my index page on my ISP server?

I like 'The Russian Bride' - a great song title.

no, I mean the MessageBox in your screenshot. $$$ Pay up sucker !!!

I just imagined the sort of synth that message would fit in , it would be a spamsynth!
