Hi Toby!
Nice. I use that one a lot, too.
You can use the same setup for any input that accepts a boolean
value, in fact. Any value greater than 0 is automatically cast as a
boolean 'true' when collnected to a boolean-type input, any value
equal-to or less-than 0 is cast as a boolean 'false'. Quite handy in
lots of different scenarios.

I have a macro i use all the time for this, fade in this case. Take
Chris's smooth patch, and wire to the Enable input of a Billboard/
Sprite via a Ceil value, and wire to the Colour input via Alpha RGB.

Others may have more clever ways of handling this (which I'd like to
hear, I'm only a few weeks into QC), but I would write a JavaScript
patch that keeps enable/disable and position state, and feed that
position info into a billboard or sprite patch. I often use the
PatchTime as a clock to drive my JavaScript.
A simpler solution may be to use the Smooth patch -- it can give
you a nice transition in/out without needing to track state
yourself via javascript. Mathematical Expression can be used to
evaluate the condition and provide the destination (i.e.
"destinationX * (condition ? 1 : 0)"), allowing a transition to
any point. Drive the smooth patch with the Mathematical
Expression output, and you're in business.
(I've gone through the whole "JS Hammer" phase myself, so I know
entirely what you're talking about :)
