Determine variable/attribute based on string value

Scripting Help
1

Is the following possible:

  • set value of a string variable myString = “myUnitAttribute”
  • change unit attribute myUnitAttribute using the string to determine which attribute to write to
  • then set value of a string variable myString = “myOtherUnitAttribute”
  • change unit attribute myOtherUnitAttribute using the string to determine which attribute to write to

2 and 4 should be same line of script except it writes to a different attribute because the value of string changed.

Not exactly sure what you’re trying to do but, try using Number type instead of String type

It should be possible, but Variable isn’t an option when choosing attribute types in the script editor (there’s only Constant and Function).

So you can just put a variable value in the raw JSON instead. Here’s a script that I made that will do what you’re looking for, though it has to use the attribute ID which is always 10 random letters, not a readable name:
