Arrays could store strings?

I tried a simple thing.

System (on start of layout) -> Array (set value at 0 to "test")

                            -> Text (set text to str(Array.at(0))

But text displayed "0" instead of "test".

Could you help? Thanks.

Should work, you can lose the str() when getting value from the array.

The Array object does support strings. Are you sure you didn't make a zero sized array?

Thanks vee41 and Ashley. Actually my code is like that

Empty event -> Array (set value at 0 to "test")

System (on start of layout) -> Text (set text to str(Array.at(0))

I'm planning a multi-level puzzle. All levels will share the same layout. I have an array that keeps all the levels info. When user skipped to new level, after the reset layout action, i don't want to reload array again.

So i put an empty event an the top of the event sheet. But in event order it still works as second i think

I think arrays are global by default, so if you just load your array at the beggining of the game it shouldn't be a problem.

Did you get this to work? I actually ran into something similar some time ago and I gave up when I noticed that the dictionary object was better for what I wanted to do (multiple lines of text).
