So I have a little area that prompts with some text that tells you which X amount of 2 different items you need.
For example:

I store the items (materials) I pick up in a Global singleton, like this:

And the area that tells you what items you need looks like this:

But I'm struggling to make this work, I don't know how to make the Material 1 and Material 2 from the dropdown list of the building area to be the same items you need, or explained in a different way, I don't know how to use my variables stored in my Global singleton be Material 1 and Material 2.

This is how it looks so far, the "Global.materialneeded" variable obviously doesn't exist:

Any tips to achieve this? or am I trying to do it simple when it's harder than this?
Also right now I can only have 2 materials required, I don't think this system would work if I wanted to ask for a third material...

I tried to "compare the names" of the Global variables with the material 1 and 2 names, but that didn't end well.

  • BubbleMagex Since your materials is a dictionary with string type keys and your enum variable is of type string, you can simply use the value of the enum variable to index the materials dictionary:

    Global.materials[material_1]

      BubbleMagex Since your materials is a dictionary with string type keys and your enum variable is of type string, you can simply use the value of the enum variable to index the materials dictionary:

      Global.materials[material_1]

          xyz I don't really understand it that well, but it seems it works perfectly, thank you!
