I am trying to send a list somewhere based on his first value, but it seems impossible (off course it is possible, I'm just new in max and can't find the answer...). I tried different things, the last one looks like this:

Is it possible?

select-on-first-value-of-a-list-but-output-the-entire-list

You want to be using route instead of select. Is this something like what you mean?

(also use copy compressed from the edit menu to paste to the forum, it makes posts easier to read)
