I'm using the Boids algorithms objects by Eric Singer (from 

http://www.ericsinger.com/cyclopsmax.html),

 and I'm having trouble using the numbers that the objects produce. When they output the co-ordinates of the flocking objects, they come out in a list format, so when they're sent to the Max Window via Print the arrive as

in the format X1, Y1, X2, Y2 and so on and so forth. What I'd really love is these numbers in the format that I could use with the unpack object or something, such as

I've tried using spray and various other objects (listfunnel, funnel, zl and similar), but none of them really work.

Sorry, I replied too quickly. [zl group] should do it. What about it

doesn't work?

have you ssen the more modern versions of boids andre sier and i made 

they're set for 2D or 3D and output the coords in various list-formats.

www.maxobjects.com will help you find the most current builds of

[zl group] works fine thank you very much, guess I must have missed it first time round, my bad.
