Target specific list values

[BuggyAl]

Suggestion

I think it would be useful to be able to target specific values in a list.

If we store a location in each world, it may be stored under {players::UUID::WORLD::location}. What if I wanted to get a list of all player locations in the end dimension?

Current Skript
loop {players::*}:
    add {players::%loop-index%::end::location} to {_locationlist::*}

New Syntax
set {_locationlist::*} to {players::*::end::location}

Another example is a quest system. What if I wanted the list of all items required for every quest?

Current Skript
loop {quest::*}:
    add {quest::%loop-index%::*} to {_questItems::*}

New Syntax
set {_questItems:*} to {quest::*::items::*}

Why?

I want this feature added because it would make list management much easier and allows developers to clean up their redundant loops.

Yes this is a good suggestion, but would make pattern handling very complex. What if you had multiple locations, but also wanted multiple players {players::*::locations::*} at that point you wouldn't have a reference to the player, it'll just be a list of locations and you wouldn't know where it came from. Maybe only allow one asterisk in the pattern to avoid this.

This can be avoided with indices of {_list::*} and looping the indices with another list call.

loop indicies of {player::*}:
    set {_locations::*} to {player::%loop-value%::locations::*}
