Why some people say Local Variables are bad...

Well, they didn't use any local variables.

That reminds me of a crusade I had many years back.  NI kept saying "locals are bad".  So what did these C programmers using LabVIEW do?  Use the value property node.  And then they complained that LabVIEW was slow and they still had their race condition issues.  What was even scarier is that people who came from other companies did the same thing.  I took a prime opportunity to show them the error of their ways.  But is was a stuggle to get it through some of their thick skulls.

Perhaps use an indexed tunnel.

I believe this is the code you are looking for

Except they were trying to do this

Note:  The Rube Goldberg code was on purpose

One important thing you can learn from this VI (screen capture from the code) :

 doing it this way !

Here's another thread with the abuse of value property nodes.

I like Titou's comparison to a Belgian traffic/signal light.  LOL!

For those of us that only speak Google Translate I hope someone can clairify this

"It is a Belgian flashing your system, once he walks, he suddenly does not work ..."

There seems to be something I am missing about Belgian flashers.

google's translation will never match human translation 

Human translation would be :

"A Belgian indicator (we're talking about those little flashing lights on cars) only works half the time : works, doesn't work, works, doesn't work..."
