  • I apologize for asking such a basic question.

    Using AJAX, I obtained the following array data:

    {"score_table":{"id":1,"position_x":"0","position_y":"0","boss_counter":"0"}}

    I would like to retrieve each piece of data from this array and store it in variables.

    (For example) Store the value 1 from the array into a global variable named id.

    set id to 1

    From what I have researched, I believe I need to use tokenat(AJAX.LastData,,) but how exactly should I proceed to retrieve the data?

  • That data is in JSON format. You need to parse it into JSON object, then you will be able to extract the values. 

    JSON parse AJAX.LastData
Set variable to JSON.get("score_table.id")

    Notice that "id" is a number, but other values are strings, for example "position_y":"0". You will need to convert them to numbers using int() expression.

    Set var to int(JSON.get("score_table.position_y"))
