I want to get one item from an array, for example:

var grocery_list = [eggs, butter, milk]

I want to call the item by index but it doesnt work, I know you can use find or whatever, but thats not what i want to do. I tried things like:

grocery_list.0
grocery_list.[0]
grocery_list[0]
grocery_list(0)
grocery_list.(0)

but non of them work
I can’t find anything like that in the godot API either, is it even possible?

Of course you can access arrays by element, that’s one of the main uses of arrays.

I’m not sure what you mean by it not working.

var grocery_list = ['eggs', 'butter', 'milk']
print(grocery_list[1]) # prints "butter"

There is a section in the GDScript tutorial on arrays here:

And the API docs for array are here, where the available array methods are defined:

You named the variable grocery_list and you’re trying to access it with grocerylist

var grocery_list = [eggs,butter,milk]

grocery_list[0] #Will return "eggs" (without quotes)
grocerylist[1] #Will return an error

Also, KidsCanCode was right too
