storing coordinates and recalling them as an integer
hey everyone
first time posting here.
i was wondering if anyone had any idea how to store a list of x,y coordinates and then assign each coordinate set an integer.
example
0,3 = 1
when i bang a message containing a list 0,3
the output is 1
i tried using coll but it does not accept input coordinates. i can however recall coordinates. which is the inverse of what i would like to do.
any help would be appreciated
i would like to predetermine various coordinate sets and assign them each an integer so i can recall them later… alot like coll
You can do this with coll, but don’t use a comma in your index. commas have special meaning in max messages. See:

amazing thanks mzed :) i knew it was missing something with coll
hi again
sorry if this is a rather amateur question… but ive only ever used max as a problem solving tool over the years.
by any chance would you know which object i should use to combine two integers into a single stream
example
0 and 3
and have them output combined with a dash
0-3
im able to pak them as (0 – 3) using {pak 0 symbol 0}
nvm used tosymbol object worked like a charm
"combine" would also work.
