Can I insert code stored in an array?

Hi guys,

New to Construct 2 and looking for advice on one element. Basically I'm trying to store a random number as a string in an Array, and I was wondering if there was a way to call it as a function?

So, for example:

I have an Array, and at 0,0 I have a string "floor(random(0,5))"

Can I, say then create an event that adds Array.At(0,0) to a global variable? Would that be the same as saying 'add floor(random(0,5))' to global variable?

I haven't been able to get it to work, so I was wondering if it's possible, or not.

Thanks everyone!

Yes that's how you do it, if you're pulling the data from the array it's set global variable to array.at(0,0).

No. You can't store code and then run it later.

I did a bit of searching around and you're right blackhornet, short of parsing out every letter, and reassembling it somehow, it looks like that's a no go. Bummer. Thanks for telling me.
