Firstly, I am VERY new to MaxMSP but i'm taking on quite a complicated project and im going to need some help, at the moment with only one bit (i think i have all the other bases covered) :D

Basically, I am seperating a webcam input into 16 different bits using jit.scissors and then taking an average number of red, green and blue pixels using the jit.3m object, and unpacking it into 3 sererate number boxes. I need to be able to get Max to decide which value is the highest, so that i can send a seperate message out (If red is highest, send a bang to output one, green is highest send an bang to output 2, etc. kind of thing)

If anyone could help (and possibly dumb it down a bit for me) that would be much appreciated,

Right,

Thats brilliant, didnt realise there was an object that would do it! Thanks :)

But, i now need to slow down how often the patch checks for differences in colour, i was thinking of using the metro object but i didnt know where in the signal chain to put it. slowing the video input to a framerate of 1fps doesnt help though, i am using the data to trigger a crude sample player and if they are being refreshed all the time, all samples will be in sync with each other (which is not desirable)...

Thanks, sorry if the description is a little bit...muddled.

Dont worry, I've sorted it with the "change" object. not sure how, but i did :D
