Hello.

It seems message boxes can be used to fire off a list of commands one after another. But I'm wondering how to, at the end of the list, just send a bang out of the message outlet or to output a float.

I have a message that says:

;
table1 resize 1;
table1 resize 1.5876e+008;

Then I would like it to output a bang once the table has resized the second time. Is that possible?

indirectly e.g.:

...
table1 resize 1.5876e+008;
receivebang bang;

[r receivebang]
|
here comes the bang

[;(
[table resize1;(
[table resize 1.5876e+008, bang(

all in one message box

or

[;(
[table resize1;(
[table resize 1.5876e+008, 5.007 (some float)(

should do it

semicolons will send the message to the object directly after the semicolon, commas will send the next message out of the box's outlet

Thanks a lot Johnny!

Sebfumaster, it doesn't seem to work. It's not outputting bangs or floats unfortunately. But Johnny's workaround works.

ya weird i feel like it should. I guess the message system interprets it as sending a bang to the array. sorry for not checking

Thank you anyway!
