How to do Dynamic Variables in GSC? in Scripting

Created on: January 19, 2017, 01:07:55 am

I want to control when a hud activates/deactives per player. (another function changes i.alpha when triggered)
The problem is if I run i.alpha = 1; it will change everybodies huds.

I know two possible solutions. Dynamic variables or

players = getplayers();
for players.size {
players[i].hud.alpha = 0; //Any idea if there is an index of 'player' that makes this line of code possible?
}

Dynamic Variable:
This method throws an error. This way should work because each time it creates a new hud object with a new variable.
Anyone know a different method that may work?

function hud() {
	players = getplayers();
	level.hud = []; 
	for (i=0; i<players.size; i++) {
		abc = asdf+i;
		level.hud[i] = NewClientHudElem(players[i]);//I also tried level.i = NewCli... (This compiled but didn't work.)
		level.hud[i].foreground = true;
		level.hud[i].fontScale = 1.5;
		level.hud[i].fontType = "default"; //etc.
		level.i.sort = 1;
		level.i.hidewheninmenu = true;
		level.i.alignX = "left";
		level.i.alignY = "bottom";
		level.i.horzAlign = "left";
		level.i.vertAlign = "bottom";
		level.i.x = 35;
		level.i.y -= 125;
		level.i.alpha = 1; //eventually be 0
		level.i SetText("Stocks: "+level.cash); //Yes, you will be able to collect interest at a 'bank' in my map.
	}
}

		hud[i].foreground = true;

		hud[i].alpha = 1; //eventually be 0
		hud[i] SetText("Stocks: "+level.cash); 
		players[i].my_hud = hud[i];
	}
}


function change_myhud_alpha() 
{
	players = getplayers();
	for (i=0; i<players.size; i++) 
	{
		players[i].my_hud.alpha = 0;
	}
}

		hud[i] = NewClientHudElem(players[i]);
		players[i].my_hud = hud[i];
function change_myhud_alpha() {
		players[i].my_hud.alpha = 0;
}

That solution worked! Thank you. I was so close to the answer haha.
That one had me stumped.
"When in doubt, create your own index"?

Is it possible to create a new line with SetText.
Like SetText("Stock: "+level.cash+"\n Interest:"+level.interest);
