to send back a list (from a join @triggers -1) over OSC (to a Lemur switches object’s /x), it’s only picking up the first element of the list. Join creates a list, so why is this happening and how must I do this ? I’m not finding anything in this in the documentation anywhere.

Basically, the message is formatted properly, except that only the first list element is passed on.

You asked the question on another thread and put a space after the @ symbol. Did you do the same in the object? If so, join won't recognize the attribute and won't make all of the inlets hot.

In other words.. join is still functioning properly and will create the list, but only after it receives a value from each of the cold inlets first.

No, there was no space after the @ symbol in my patch.

I am working with the patch you sent in the original thread. I also downloaded the CNMAT files to get the o.route referred to in your patch.

Cool. Just keep in mind, in Max the data types include messages, integers, floats, symbols, lists, signals (msp) and matrices (jitter). In OSC, you also need to think in terms of 

. OSC and the odot library are all about bundles.

Look at o.message and o.print. Compare their output to the standard message and print objects. Hook up different configurations and note the differences.

When is a list not a list ?
