Extracting value from an object based on the numbers in their name

I'm trying to run a fast loop 81 times and, during each loop, set a global value (loops index - 1 to 81) to an alterable value of active objects which are all named "field 1" to "field 81".

This is the first half : Chose value : LoopIndex("name of the loop")
What I would like to do not, in the expression calculator is select a value of an object that has the current loop index in it's name : value1("field" + "LoopIndex(name of the loop").

I tried using the Str$ in front of the bracket :
Str$("field" + "LoopIndex(name of the loop")
and, just in case, in front of all brackets :
Str$("field"+Str$(LoopIndex("name of the loop"))
, but it just doesn't seem to work that way.

Could anyone help me out here?

The result should be : Set "Value 1" to value1("field 1"), Set "Value 2" to value2("field 2") etc. until the final loop (81 in this case) ends.

I'm afraid you are doing the classic mistake of trying to do something impossible, and keep gluing yourself in a corner, instead of finding other solutions.
You can't call an object by an expression in Fusion 2.5. I am sure you will be able to find an alternative solution once you let go of your current approach. The most straightforward method would be to run a For Each loop on all the objects. If they need to be different objects, you could give them all the same qualifier and run a For Each loop on the qualifier.

Not sure what Popcorn was talking about, but you can give each object an ID value and reference this instead of the object name: globalexample.mfa
