You can perform math operations on lists. So, keep two lists. The first has
your "values", the second starts as a list full of the integer 1 (with the
same number of items as the first list). Add the lists, check the results,
and change the signs of any items in the second list that exceed your
maximum or minimum values. Untested:
---------------------
property pValueList
property pAddList
on new me, listIn
pValueList = listIn
pAddList = []
repeat with i = 1 to pValueList.count
pAddList.add(1)
end repeat
end
on mResetValues me
pValueList = pValueList + pAddList
repeat with i = 1 to pValueList.count
if pValueList[i] = 150 then
pAddList[i] = -1
else if pValueList[i] = 1 then
pAddList[i] = 1
end if
end repeat
end
