Constant or Populate on init

Question 1:
How do I assign Pitch to the value of "100" only once, perhaps upon the creation of the chip?

@name PortalSong
@inputs PitchUp PitchDown On Off
@outputs Pitch
@persist

Pitch=100
if(On){soundPlay(1,0,"music/portal_still_alive.mp3")}
if(Off){soundStop(1)}
if(PitchUp){Pitch++,soundPitch(1,Pitch)}
if(PitchDown){Pitch--,soundPitch(1,Pitch)}

The way the code stands right now, pitch is always 100 because when the chip executes it always writes Pitch=100. So when any button is pressed it'll rewrite Pitch to 100.


Question 2:
How do I assign fire only once values?

Scenario: Chair&Adv Pod Controller. I want print("fire only once") to fire when Activate == 1 (when someone sits in the chair)

Faulty Example:

@name ChairThing
@inputs Mouse1 Active
@outputs
@persist

if(Active){print("Welcome to the chair!")}
if(Mouse1){print("You hit Mouse1")}

This code will fire "Welcome to the chair!" when you enter the vehicle and also whenever you press Mouse1 (because the chip fires when either input occurs).

@name PortalSong
@inputs PitchUp PitchDown On Off
@outputs Pitch
@persist

if (first()) {Pitch=100}
if(On){soundPlay(1,0,"music/portal_still_alive.mp3")}
if(Off){soundStop(1)}
if(PitchUp){Pitch++,soundPitch(1,Pitch)}
if(PitchDown){Pitch--,soundPitch(1,Pitch)}

@name ChairThing
@inputs Mouse1 Active
@outputs
@persist

if(Active & ~Active){print("Welcome to the chair!")}
if(Mouse1 & ~Mouse1){print("You hit Mouse1")}

to assign a variable when the chip is spawned use:

if (first()|duped()) {do stuff}

.

hrm... maybe a

if (Active&~Active) {do stuff}

not too sure about that last one but its something to do with ~
hope i helped
