Change object's (parameter) variable in a World Method.

I have 40 squares (tile) each with a "HidingObject" object variable I added in via the Properties Tab.



What I am trying to do via a World Method is assign other objects to it.

HOWEVER



What I am trying to do is set

Tile.HiddenObject set value to Object
Bolded items are parameters.

However, it will not let me specify a parameter, to access its variable.

The only solution I see is to do an IF statement for every square I have. (40 if statements)



So in conclusion

I am trying to change a variable of a object, specified via a parameter of a world method.

Help would be appreciated

Put simply: you can't. You need to fake it by using one of the built in variables that all of the objects have. For example, since you need an object variable, you could have Tile set it's vehicle to Object, then reference it accordingly (since Alice will let you reference and alter the value of the Vehicle of a parameter).

Hello,

Setting the Tile's vehicle to the object won't work due to limitations in what I'm trying to do (I would explain, but for the sake of simplicity I'll just say I know that won't work).

What I ended up doing was 40 if's in a Do Together,

if Tile = square { square.HidingObject set to Object }
if Tile = square2 { square2.HidingObject set to Object }
if Tile = square3 { square3.HidingObject set to Object }

It works great and while it is a little work around, I'm satisfied

Thanks,
Sam

Glad you got it working and sorry the simple, obvious solution didn't work. Believe me, I'd love more references to references in Alice as well.
