Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. I have never used 'method()' before, so your code helped me realize what I was missing. This also allowed me to set that script up properly. I'll be sure to share the game when it's in a more functional state.

Thank you for the reply. I just cleaned up the main section of code I am having problems with and tried implementing what you sent, but I still can't get it to work. The code above works, but only because of the hard-coded fix I put after the for loop.
I apologize if my code is hard to read because I am entirely self-taught and don't know any standard variable conventions. I want to use a loop so I can dynamically add new buttons.
The ".setImageAlpha" sections are only there for testing purposes so I can see results faster, so my main concern is the array updating portion. This basically just changes a variable that holds information on what is equipped to the player. I am trying to set up a system that will allow me to add more options quickly in the future while modifying as little code as possible. If this isn't enough for you to help me, I can share more of the project, but fair warning, my code is very cluttered right now.
there was one other thing I was trying to do that is less important, but I thought I would still bring it up. I first ran into troubles when I tried setting up the .setCallback in a script so I could reduce the size of my code, but I had similar issues to the above problem where the function couldn't find the variable I wanted to access. my current hard-coded solution is sufficient for my project so no worries if we can't figure this one out.
