Sorry about the vague title, but I have no other way to explain this.
Say if I had a list that contained the items 7, @ and c and i wanted to see if any one of these items are equal in another list, say the alphabet. In this example the 7 and the @ would not be equal to any item in the alphabet list but the c will. How would I go about doing this the easiest way and the least time consumption if i wanted something to repeat until it notices that one of the items (7, @, c)=an item on the list of the alphabet

So from what I understand, you want to see if one item from a list is in the other list?

To put it basically, yes

Well, you'd essentially have to loop through the items of the list. Here:

Thanks coolstuff for your quick and well set out response

Also where it says 'Nope, those lists are completely different!', they might not be different, just that one thing is different between them. (Sorry, I have no technical input to add)

Well, that was just my wording smile I'll edit my post.

EDIT: Actually, it means that there are no items the same between them wink

Lol, yeah right up till I added my post and saw your earlier post hahah! Wait, we did the same thing bascially so you just complemented yourself! Thanks though big_smile See you kicking butt in here every day bro, mega kudos!! I joined the Scratch educators site but then I just came over here and started doing it instead.

Anyway I'm on dial-up so I'm stuck in this weird time-shifted alternate universe where I hit "submit" and 15 new posts magically appear in front of mine. I preserve my sanity by considering it a zen building experience??

Thanks to everyone who helped. I used the script in my project Shoot-Outs. What part of the game do you think I used it in?

Methinks when it computes your name, as per the project notes smile

Surely it will only report back the last item on the list with that script? hmm I'll post what I think would work better in a while... smile

How so? It cycles through every list item and I've tested it and it works just fine...

I think I misread it earlier hmm I thought it was an if-else block, instead of an if block... whoops >.<
