I'm making a text script and i have costumes named 1, 2, 3, etc. but when i want it to switch to, for example, letter 1 of 123,

switch costume to (letter (1) of [123])

it switches to the first costume (A) instead of the costume named 1.

Does somebody know a workaround?

I would recommend not using numbers for costume names. It's easy enough to have things like C1, C2 etc so it is clear which is a name and which is a costume number. May be a bit of a pain to sort it out for this project but worth it and next time you can just avoid using numbers.

I guess i can add an if else statement to check if the thing is bigger than 10. since any single digit number is never bigger than 9 and text is bigger than numbers in scratch, i can do something like this

if <(letter (index) of (text)) > [10]> then 

  
switch costume to (letter (index) of (text))

else
switch costume to (join [C] (letter (index) of (text)))
end

thanks for the help!

nevermind, it turns out i just didnt even have the number costumes but then it works, it switches to the costume name, not number haha
