[SOLVED] Assign numbered variables

[Bruni Multimedia]

Hi.
Let's say I have the following variables:

Code: Select all

goofy_1_charm = 0
goofy_2_charm = 0
goofy_3_charm = 0
donald_1_charm = 0
donald_2_charm = 0
donald_3_charm = 0

And I want to use a counter to assign a value to them dinamically:

Code: Select all

$ counter = 0

I tried:

Code: Select all

if cond_1 == True:
        $ counter += 1
        $ eval("goofy"+str(counter)+"_charm") = value
        $ eval("donald"+str(counter)+"_charm") = value
if cond_2 == True:
	$ counter += 1        
        $ eval("goofy"+str(counter)+"_charm") = value
        $ eval("donald"+str(counter)+"_charm") = value        

However it looks like I can safely use "eval" as a value but I cannot assign to a function call.

Any idea how to work around this?

You would probably be better using a dictionary.

Code: Select all

goofy = { "charm_1" : 0, "charm_2" : 0, "charm_3" : 0 }

if cond_1:
    $ counter += 1
    $ goofy["charm_" + str(counter)] = value

or even a list would do,

Code: Select all

goofy_charm = [0, 0, 0]

if cond_1:
    $ counter += 1
    $ goofy_charm[counter] = value

And remember the first item in the list has an index of 0 not 1. But in your case a dictionary would probably be better as you can easily add more values.

Awesome! I shall try that asap.

I wasn't aware of this dictionary thing, it will help me a lot with many future features

Worked like a charm, thank you very much!
