So lets get right into it, can I do this?

Player event:

script(2)

Script:

global.something+argument0=3

So can I kind of add the number to the name of the variable?
So it would look like this:

global.something2=3

Or do I have to use string or something else?

variable_global_set(name,value) Sets the global variable with the given name (a string) to the given value.

So string it is. :D thnks

I would use arrays if I were you (something[2] instead of something2).

[gorinds]

Uh... "global.something+argument0=3" gave me an error.

and no arrays are not an option. just need to get the name changed
is this even possible?

Assignment operator expected

Or yes its an option, but it would mean a lot of renaming for me... ALOT

variable_global_set ("something" + argument0, 3)

or

global.something[argument0] = 3

Not even this works? wtf.

argument0=2

aa=variable_global_get(global.something+string(argument0))

error:

aa=variable_global_get(global.something+string(argument0))
                                          ^

[Davve]

aa=variable_global_get("global.something"+string(argument0))

[gorinds]

Well now I got it, it was:

aa=variable_global_get("something"+argument0)

Thanks!
