I'm fairly new to Max and am having difficulty solving this problem. I've been trying to search on the forums but am having a difficult time since it seems to be a very specific idea/problem.

I want to have a total button that tells max what the selection should add up to. So say I have numbers 1 - 10 in messages. And then I input a number 6 as the 'total'. There would be numerous ways to create the number 6 (by adding 3 + 3 or 2 + 4 etc). However I don't want to manually patch all these possibilities in as there would be far too much complexity. However I really can't think of a simpler way to do it right now.
