[Solved] Bracket format for retrieving value from global array, always returning 0

How do I...?
1

Hello! I am trying to display strings from a global array variable on screen. The problem is that the string values always show up as 0.

Here is my global variable:

gdevelop global variable
gdevelop global variable1855×655 41.6 KB

(Just to clarify, I actually don’t have any quotes around the child values when I’m creating the array. I might have used an old screenshot where I had them in by accident).

This is my attempt to get the first element in the array (which is called capturedPetArray)

gdevelop attempting to get variable
gdevelop attempting to get variable3295×675 114 KB

Then when I print tempPetName in a text object, it is always 0.

Am I messing up somewhere in the array setup or accessing the element by index? I bet it’s something really silly and trivial…

GlobalVariableString(capturedPetArray[0])

Idea is
If variable is NOT a string so number then you use ToString(VariableName)
If it is already a string then you use VariableString(VariableName)

GlobalVariableString for global var
VariableString for scene var
ObjectName.VariableString for object var
