As an example, how do I create ab "if" condition with these crazy opjects? I just don't ee a simple means for such a simple condition.

It’s a bit tricky to wrap your head around at first but if statements are still pretty easy to implement. For example you could write something like [>= 10] which would return a 1 when true and a 0 when false. Since the majority of max objects requires a bang to operate you can add a [sel 1] which would turn the 1 into a bang and you can map that into anything you need at that point. Effectively you’ve written an if greater than or equal to 10 then do the function of the code. The idea basically by mapping the output of one object into another you’re creating if conditions. Additionally there’s an if object you can use if you find it easier, you can write the if then statement directly in the object

@@AndrewRobinson26 Thanks for taking the time to explain that. I'm 66 and have literally been writing code since Assembly was the only show in town. So using these objects is a real stretch for me. But I can't thank you enough for taking the time. Have a truly great day, Bill
