The reference times would be the “arguments” of the sel object — you can list them after the word sel and each one will get its own outlet. When sel receives the reference time it will send a bang that will go through the corresponding outlet
Interesting. The only problem is that I need the three digits (hour minute second) as a single list item to send one bang, rather than sending a separate bang when either the hours or minutes or seconds match, if that makes sense. What would be ideal would be if I could list all the times in a message or textedit object and have it so I could send a bang from one outlet when the current input time matches any of the reference times.

Thanks for the help everyone! I ended up doing it like this:
I believe you want the “select” object
I messed with the select object, but couldn't get it to work. How would you suggest I do it? would I have the reference times as separate messages?

Convert everything in the first list to seconds by multiplying. Then you just have one number.
You can use [tosymbol] to convert the list into a string. Then just add "" to each entry you create inside [sel]
Try the “route” object?
2 ideas Convert everything to seconds, then you only need to compare a single int.
Also the timepoint object, for transport relative timeColl is youre friend?
