How do I…
Access the variable “Answers.0[3]” dynamically
I’m trying “Answers.Variable(QuestionSelect)[3]”
With my number variable QuestionSelect set to 0
As a result I just get a 0
Answers is a structure and Answers.0 is an array
Based on what I understand, you have a structure variable called Answers that holds some data, likely in the form of questions or text. You want to dynamically control which data (or question) to select using a variable, rather than hardcoding each question.
While there might be simpler ways to do it, here’s a solution I prefer:
Answers["Question" + ToString(QuestionSelect)]
This way, you can change the QuestionSelect variable dynamically to retrieve different questions without hardcoding.
For example, if QuestionSelect = 1, this setup will output "Who is Nick?".

Hi Danijel - thank you for replying
My variable structure is a little different, so I can’t make your code work for me…
"Answers." + ToString(QuestionSelect)[]
or
"Answers." + VariableString(QuestionSelect)[]
just doesn’t work…
It’s a multiple choice game, with multiple questions, all with 4 answers…
I see, so you essentially have a structure that contains arrays, which behaves similarly to a 2D array. This is why I added an additional variable to dynamically get the index from the arrays as well. Without that, I don’t think you’d be able to achieve this functionality.
The correct syntax would be:
Answers[Variable(QuestionSelect)][Variable(AnswerIndex)]
For example, your Answers structure might look like this:
[67, 42, 235, 34],
[23, 43, 87, 278]
This is similar to a 2D array. So, accessing Answers[1][2] would give you 87 (the third item in the second array).
If QuestionSelect = 1 and AnswerIndex = 2, the result would be: 87
Well that did it !
I only have four answers each round, so I can just repeat it from
to
I did not know you could reference a structure, like a 2d array.
Thank you very much for your kind help, stranger on the internet !
