Substituting/Setting A Variable's Name Using Another Variable's String (Sugarcube 2)

edited April 2016 in Help! with 1.x
Can this be done using Twine's script, or am I going to have to use javascript? If javascript is the only way to do it, has anyone already done this, and wouldn't mind sharing?

    You can use the <<print>> macro to convert a String containing a marco into the actual macro call. 
    <<set $number to 0>>

<<set $var to "$number">>

<<print "<<set " + $var + " to 10>>">>

number: $number

    Sweet. Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Though I won't pretend I get why <<print>> does that...

    The <<print>> macro processes the String and adds the result to the current output, which in this case is a <<set>> macro which in turn gets processed and changes the $number variable.
