Get name of variable from name of input?

[+eirikub]

When checking if a given answer to an input is correct, I have this line of code:

Wherigo.NoCaseEquals(input, answerGeo009)

 

Is it possible to generalise this to

Wherigo.NoCaseEquals(input, answer<name of current input>)

?

 

If so, how do I write this correctly?

If your answers were part of an array (really, a lookup table in lua), you could have done something like Wherigo.NoCaseEquals(input, myArray[index]). This allows you to ask questions from an array of questions or create a list of questions and answers to go through sequentially. That might be your best bet. You'll just have to store the array's index somewhere.

Thank you. Do you know of any tutorials for this? On how to set up the code, I mean.

How comfortable are you with code? Or would you like something that can be done within a builder application? I don't want to make it more complicated than you need.

 

If you want to know more about arrays, you could look at the source code of my Battleship cartridge. That'll tell you a lot.
