That's the best way that I can describe it.

What I mean is - I have multiple floats and if they create a certain combination (which is dependent on their order) I want there to be a bang.

I basically have four floats, which deal with the numbers 1-4... When they create

1, 2, 3, 4 ... I would like the to be a bang.

Currently I have packed the floats, but am not sure what to do after this. I tried to make it so that a [select 1234] would detect this combination, but it did not work.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

Try [list-compare].

Here's a less elegant, but vanilla solution.

Here's a list based solution, it's based on the length of the list.

Psyko Logical, as far as i can tell, all the list-abs are vanilla-based, altough they're distributed with pd-extended.

They are all vanilla, but they also rely on other abstractions within the library. So if you want to use them in vanilla, you can, but it's best to install the whole lib.

Thanks for all the responses to this. I have looked at each one, though not enough yet to settle on one which I think works best for me.

I am glad that this question lead to such a fruitful thread -- thank you again to all responders

Having played around a bit I think [list-compare] strikes me as the most sensible solution, although the other ideas are very interesting and stimulated.
