Is it possible to do something like

func set_cargo(type, amt, val):
	dict.cargo.contents.[type].amount = amt
    dict.cargo.contents.[type].value = val

so i went with

dict.cargo.contents[type] = {"amount":amt,"value":val}

but this could be an issue if i want to store larger numbers of keys. If there is a better way please do let me know
