hi guys,

 

how do you store the "current" list item into a variable? my bot has too many loops and my list is getting bigger and confusing...

If you are trying to store all the items then in the last node of the image you should have the selected list instead of #current_item variable.

 

But if you are trying to save the whole list in a variable then you have to :

 

set "variable_name";

inserts -> insert list -> list_name;

 

That may help..

how do you store the "current" list item into a variable?

To store the current $list item in a variable, if you are looping through a list, use:

Set variable 
Variable: #current_item
Content: $next list item

thank you guys

 

@Praney : i am trying to save the current/active item during the loop, not the whole list

 

@irobot : #current_item starts with the second list item with $next_list_item

 

 

#current_item starts stores the second list item as first item because $next_list_item is already begin used once in the loop?

 

can i do something like $next_list_item minus 1?

 

Set variable 
Variable: #current_item
Content: $next list item (minus 1)

#current_item starts stores the second list item as first item because $next_list_item is already begin used once in the loop?

Use the set variable just after the $list total, so that the variable #current_item can be used in both places.

I would solve this by using the set command outside the loop as such:

 

Set #listposition = 0

 

Instead of using $Next List Item I would use $List Item with the position set to #listposition.

 

At the end of your loop (inside the loop) use inc--->#listposition

 

What it all means is your #listposition variable increments by one with every cycle of the loop.

 

Under this format, it will grab position 0 as well. HTH.

#current_item starts stores the second list item as first item because $next_list_item is already begin used once in the loop?

 

The reason why your items were one digit off is because list ITEM #s start at 0, while list POSITIONS start at 1.

 

1. [0] First

2. [1] Second

3. [2] Third

 

To store the VALUE of the current POSITION you have to take an ITEM that's one LESS than the current POSITION number:
