How to find the index of a specific element

Arcade Help

For example when you have an array of images you want for your sprite and you use it for a sprite’s image, is there a way to have an if statement checking which index is used, and if that index is used, make the sprite have different properties?

I don’t think the builtin blocks will work.

You would need to do it this way in JavaScript:

let index: number = -1
images2.find((value: Image, i: number) => {
    if (value.equals(needle)) {
        index = i
        return true
    }
    return false
})
game.splash(index)

@Sarge or @WoofWoof , I’ve forgotten: Does either of your extensions includes the find() function?
