   okay I have three renpy variables I might need to update

   call em

   job1
   job2
   job3

   job_n <- stores a value that indicates which value needs to be changed

   how would I got about changing the value of the correct job without a long line of if statements asking what is in job_n?

     Never used renpy, but surely you should be able to use an array?
     
     Something like
     
     $job[n] = ""

     @jacky the problem is jobs don't always exist and if I clear a job I need all the other jobs to retain their positions in the list. because if they get moved around it fucks with other systems

     @Rasp what i meant is: usually you'd store them in a single (list) variable
     
     jobs = ["job1", "job2", "job3"]
     
     then you can
     
     jobs[job_n] = ""

     @Rasp that'd be
     match job_n:
     case 1:
     do case 1 thing
     case 2:
     do case 2 thing

     @topaz but that is not a variable that should ever exist

     @Rasp@raru.re
     Looks like you need to declare the variable first
     
     persistent_task = []
     
     before using it
