How do I filter an array, or loop over it?
I’m calling a function in an extension (MQTT::GetLastMessage()), which returns an array of structures. I save the returned data to a scene variable. (I can change to a global variable, if needed).
The length of the returned array varies a bit. I’d like to process the array in ways that are not clear to me yet (I’m in an exploratory phase), but likely, I want to filter the array, so that only items with a certain value of a child node are passed through. The items that pass through the filter will later move objects on the screen.
How can I iterate over the array?
How can the array be filtered?
What is the expected result
Get the data for the wanted tagId, and use it in the “game”. Note that the structures in the array are populated to varying extent. Hopefully not a problem.
What is the actual result
I don’t know how to do this.

Here is some data of the kind that I want to process. In this case, there are 3 items in the array, and I want to filter on tagId.
