Hi, I need help with this...I have a selection (of 1 edge) that is included in an array. How do I select the next item in the arrays index?

I know how to select the first one in the index with [1], but I need to know what[?] the selection I have is within the index...and get the next number in the index
I hope you understand and any help is appreciated.

hey dude, if you want to get the second one, get it with loops, like:

arr = #(1, 3, 10)
for i = 1 to arr.count do
(
arr[i]
)

but if you want to get the next edge based on position, then it is not that easy man, at least not with 1 function.

See ya

findItem <array> <value> will return the index of the first item in <array> which matches <value>.

nice stuff with array is for in loop

arr = #(1,2,3,4,5)
for act in arr do
(
print act
)
-- output 1
-- output 2
-- output 3
-- output 4
-- output 5
