Hi I just need to know if this is possible,
How can I read a variable based on objects name and a number?
Example,
Object_Name = Cube
Number = 4
if GameLogic.Object_Name + “_” + Number == Something:
Do other things
But it would read the “if GameLogic.Object_Name + “_” + Number” part as,
if GameLogic.Cube_4 == Something:
Do other things
Hm, not sure what you want. If you’re looking to store and retrieve according to string, use a dictionary. It stores values according to keys.
# create a dictionary if it doesn't exist
try:
GameLogic.myDict
except NameError:
GameLogic.myDict = {} # create a dictionary
name = "Cube"
number = 4
GameLogic.myDict [name + "_" + str(number)] = 42 # store 42 in "Cube_4" key
theAnswer = GameLogic.myDict ["Cube_4"] # retrieve value in "Cube_4"
print "theAnswer is " + str(theAnswer)

If you are looking to use introspection – running python from python, try the exec command:
exec("theAnswer = GameLogic." + objectName + "_" + str(theNumber))
print theAnswer
The exec command is bad news, though, and should only be used when no other approach will work.
Haha Perfect!
Just needed to change
theAnswer = GameLogic.myDict [name + “_” + str(number)] # retrieve value in “Cube_4”
Thank you so much!
