Is it possible to have dynamically named variables?

[zooloo75]

I'm wondering if it is possible to have a variable be named dynamically - and if it's possible, then how is it done?

I'm thinking of something like
1_health
2_health
3_health
n_health

Just a continuation, and have it based off of each player or object.

missionNamespace setVariable [format ["variable%1", _x], _value];

how does one refer to a dynamic variable after generating it like this if part of the name was generated from a loop i.e.

_locations = nearestlocations [[0,0,0],["Airport","NameCityCapital","NameCity","NameVillage","NameLocal"],50000];

{
     _locname = name _x;
     _trgname = format ["%1_trigger",_locname];

     missionnamespace setvariable [_trgname,createTrigger ["emptyDetector",getpos _x]];

} foreach _locations;

how would i then go and set the statements for the triggers using settriggerstatements??

What is this supposed to do?

missionnamespace [_trgname,createTrigger ["emptyDetector",getpos _x]];

best i can come up with is to use

(call compile _trgname) settriggerstatements ["this","hint 'trigger is on'","hint 'trigger is off'"];

is there a better way to do it?

is there a better way to do it?

_trigger = missionNamespace getVariable _trgname;
_trigger setTriggerStatements ["this","hint 'trigger is on'","hint 'trigger is off'"];
