can someone point me in a direction where i can find a variable trigger object

To change the order of outputs of a trigger by a message

sending a "patch 6 4 3 5 2 1" message to such obeject would bang the fifth outlet after the third - or before depending starting right or left ...

To change the order of outputs of a trigger by a message 

patch-a-trigger

inobject = this.patcher.newobject("inlet", 100 , 100 , 20 , 0);

def=this.patcher.newdefault( 100, 200, "bangbang", len);

    outarray[i]= this.patcher.newobject("outlet" , 100+i*30 , 340, 20 ,0); 

    this.patcher.connect(def,arguments[i]-1,outarray[i],0);

just put some javascript together
put the js object in a subpatcher
and send a list to it " 1 2 3 5 4"

var outarray = new Array();
var def;
var inobject;

   var len = arguments.length;
   var i=0;
   this.patcher.remove(def);
   this.patcher.remove(inobject);

   inobject = this.patcher.newobject("inlet", 100 , 100 , 20 , 0);
   def=this.patcher.newdefault( 100, 200, "bangbang", len);
   this.patcher.connect(inobject,0,def,0);

   for (i=0; i
   {	
    this.patcher.remove(outarray[i]);
	outarray[i]=  this.patcher.newobject("outlet" , 100+i*30 , 340, 20 ,0); 
	this.patcher.connect(def,arguments[i]-1,outarray[i],0);
   }

does not work when removing the outlets the connection to the outside world of the subpatcher also disappears....

hmm have to put a dummy object in between

will do after some sleep (now its 06:30 AM.... some late night maxxing here )

Two solutions using standard objects. A wired version using router, and a wireless using forward.

Something like this in a javascript maybe?

// lh.vtrig
outlets = jsarguments[1] || 2;

function list() {
    a = arrayfromargs(messagename,arguments);
    for (i=0; i


instead of changing the order of 5 outputs, i would

the 5 messages would be stored as list inside and i

would trigger them by reading simgle elements from a

instead of changing the order of 5 outputs, i would
change the content of the 5 variables.

the 5 messages would be stored as list inside and i
would trigger them by reading simgle elements from a
[zl nth] and route them by a [gate 5].

but still a 'long' way to go from bang till print

in this example i used a list of 5 but that has to be variable

but it does not seem to variable the number of outlets

want to use this 'object' to change the drawing order of jit.matrix objects in a gl environment 

which one has to be in front of the other in a variable way

@jvkr
i like the wireless 
but still a 'long' way to go from bang till print
and not easy to variable 
in this example i used a list of 5 but that has to be variable

@lh
i tried such a thing too 
but it does not seem to variable the number of outlets
do you have it working in a patch?

@roman
also the number 5 has to be variable 
i do need to change order
but do you have this in a patch?

outlets = 18;
var i;
function list ()
{
for (i = 0; i
outlet(arguments[i]-1,"bang"); 	
}

Unfortunately you can't dynamically re-create inlets and outlets in the fashion you're looking for. However, if you set the argument to a large number at the beginning it will still work when you use lists of a smaller size.
