Call variable based on value

Help
1

Is there a function to call a variable based on the casted value of that variable? Example below…

CODE START

var x = “123”
var temp_var = “x”
print(“VALUE OF X:”, var(temp_var)) # THIS IS THE FUNCTION I’M LOOKING FOR

CODE END

I would hope to see the following print statement:
VALUE OF X: 123

Can you try this?

print("VALUE OF X: ", get(temp_var))

In order for that to work, temp_var would need to be string property name of the current object - not just any local variable.

Have a look at the docs about Evaluating expressions:

Looks like evaluating expressions will do it. Will update this post after testing. Thank you!

This is correct, the full sample works.

var x: int = 123
var temp_var: String = "x"

func _ready() -> void:
	print("Value of x is: ", get(temp_var))

Thanks! I think I just misunderstood @lexpeartha reply for overthinking.

The get() solved it for me! Thank you!
