Hi,

I want to unpack a message with a length between 1 and 16 integers.
Every time I change the number to X, a X amount of random values between 1 and 16 are generated.

How can I unpack the last message when the length is changing?
In the end I want to check if a numbers is in the message and turn a toggle on/off when it is the case.
Maybe I have to use something else than unpack...

Thanks! :)

I think, you may be interested in and to build your construction on top on the [iter] object. Another solution may be made from the [zl.length] (to check current length of the list) and [zl.slice] (to split it).
