hi. nuublet here.
`let x = “PerchanceListA”
[x]`
how do i have it retrieve PerchanceListA instead of a list named x?
I bet it’s something simple like some evaluateScript thing but i don’t know because I’m a noob :)

Don’t have the quotes, and it will retrieve a variable by the name
perchanceListA
. So then referencingx
will reference whatever valueperchanceListA
had.Where are you putting the code
let x...
?edit: oops. was cuz i had a wrong capitalization of a list lol. totally my fault and nothing to do with language syntax! :) thanks. very much works
what i had typed about the specifics before solving
you and vionet so smart but i think none of those work for this.
i have my style buttons that i want to be like, for the Bright style for example:
<button onclick="genimgs(this)">Bright</button>
a little more complicated but basically a bunch of buttons exactly like this, but with different stylenames, all pointing togenimgs(button)
genimgs(button)
is then, in it’s simplified form, this: `function genimgs(buttonobject){
`
in genimgs, buttonobject.innerHTML does indeed equal “Bright”. So I want it to pull a line from the Perchance list called Bright, like the Anime button should go to this function, be translated in to the string Anime, and pull a line from the Perchance list Anime. But see how I can’t just type out the word Bright or Anime with no quotes like you and vioneT suggest. It is a string I am getting from a button. It could be tons of different strings. I then need to convert the string in to it’s relevant Perchance List. I believe, in normal JS, if root.Bright were my list,
root[buttonobject.innerHTML]
would retrieve it since in normal JS they are equivalent. But not here and nor do I know the Perchancian way to do it.Oooh, sorry I understand your comment now. Glad you got it working 👍
That should work just fine. But I think you need to use
$root
to access it. Because JS and everything all usewith(root) { ... }
. Which means if you use justroot
you’re actually accessingroot.root
–which I’m guessing doesn’t exist. And that’s why you’re not getting any value.But
$root
always goes back to the root of the perchance main list object. So that might work for you.If it still doesn’t, you can give us the link to the generator and we can look at the code for you and figure out a solution.
