How do I refer to an object with a variable

I have a number of objects, text and images, that I want to change the content of.

At the moment the only way I can see to do that is to call individually code the change to each of these objects. It would be far more efficient if I could include them in a loop and just reference them using a array.

for example the array could consist of text1, text,2 text3, text4 ( The name of the four text objects )

then a loop could be used to cycle through the array and update each text object with the new data. Is there a way to do this in Construct? I have yet to find it.

Any help would be most appreciated.

You can't refer objects in C2 by their string name.

What you can do is add all these text1,text2... objects to a family TextsFamily, create an instance variable "code" on the family, and then you'll be able to pick any object (member of the family) by code.

For example:

TextsFamily compare instance variable code="text4" -> TextsFamily set Text to "abcd"

Same approach with sprites.

Alternatively if you want to use an array, you can index the UID of each text object into the array.

Thanks for the help guys. Most appreciated.
