I need to create a list that will store unique numbers, and remove any number from that list that has not been sent in the last 30 seconds.

When you say "remove," do you mean that the output should be a variable length list? Perhaps some examples of input and output would be useful.

Well, what i am trying to do is compensate for the fact that I am not getting a "lost user" signal, so I am checking the first line of a list (which is the user id) which is a number between 1 and 24. I want to convert that unchanging "user id" into one that recognizes inactivity. By that I mean I want to make sure that "user id" is being sent at least once every thirty seconds because later in the patch that user data goes through a [route].

FOR EXAMPLE: If i am receiving an 8 as the "user id", but "user id" 1 thru "user id" 7 have not done anything for 30 seconds, then i want user 8 to effectively become user 1.

yes, the length of the list will be variable, and the [unpack] will send the data where it needs to go. So if there is only one element in the list, whatever number it is will be sent from the first outlet of the unpack to the right inlet of a [route]

and if there are three "user id"'s active then whatever numbers they are will be sent out the first three outlets of the [unpack]

Logically: If a specific number has not been sent to the list in the past 30 seconds, that number needs to be removed from the list.

Ok, here is how it's done, I eventually figured it out, I find it helps immensely to try to explain it to others...

This is for use with FantaStick and FSMultiServer, its a rough way to detect whether or not a user is still actively using their iphone or ipad. If they are not, it assigns an active user to the max object that was previously being used by the now inactive user.

The problem with my patch is that the size of the [bag] needs to set the size of the [zl.stream]... I need to add a second bag, get the length, then make that length the length of the [zl.stream]

Here is the fixed version of the patch, allowing up to 34 unique user id's to be reshuffled based on activity.

Here's a different approach. First, save this as NumPresent

This only does seven "voices" but some copy/paste can expand it.
