is it possible to get a global variable by name, as a string? That is, in an event: add 1 to "V1" or "V2" etc ...?

You can use Dictionary. For example, variable Var, create Dictionary keys "V1" and "V2", use:

System - Set variable - choose(1,2)

Text - Set text - "Value "&Var"&": "&Dictionary.Get("V"&Var)

I don't understand, sorry, now that you told me, I can solve the problem by replacing all the variables with the global dictionary keys, but that's not what you say.

Could you send me an example of a project? If not for the moment I do this, Thanks.
