How can i call a global variable depending on the type?

I have several global variables ( variable1, variable2, variable3,...) and I want to call the the variable depending on the type since there are multiple types. For example:

if type=1

Variable+type

Variable1++;

Can you give us some more information? Do you work in ProcessFlow or in a Trigger in the 3D Objects? Are you familiar with coding in FlexSim or better said, did you ever use a "Switch" command?

@Lucy You could also put the global variables in an array and use the index to have access to a particular global variable

Hi,

I think this can work, but where do I add the array for a global variable?

@Lucy Just where you also create a normal global variable:
