I need help with an error.

[Anthony162010]

Body

texture=load_texture().get(block_types[selected_block_index]),
~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable

How do I fix this?
I am fairly certain that the problem is with the [selected_block_index].

Guidelines

• I have read and understood this category's guidelines before making this post.

[tmilost]

block_types = ["grass", "dirt", "stone"]  # This should be a list or similar iterable
selected_block_index = 1  # This should be an integer index (e.g., 0, 1, or 2)

def load_texture():
    # This should return a dictionary mapping block type names to texture objects or IDs
    return {
        "grass": "grass_texture",
        "dirt": "dirt_texture",
        "stone": "stone_texture"
    }

# Correct way to get the texture:
texture = load_texture().get(block_types[selected_block_index])
print(texture)  # Output: dirt_texture

Key points:

• block_types should be a list (or similar), not an int.
• selected_block_index should be a valid integer index.
• load_texture() should return a dictionary where keys match the elements in block_types.

Hey 👋

That error means block_types is actually an integer, but the code is trying to use it like a list or dict.

For example, this line:

texture = load_texture().get(block_types[selected_block_index])

only works if block_types is something like:

block_types = ["grass", "stone", "dirt"]

so that block_types[selected_block_index] returns a valid item (like "grass").

But since you’re getting:

TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable

it means block_types is probably just a number right now — e.g.:

block_types = 3

and numbers can’t be indexed like lists.

✅ Fix:
Make sure block_types is a list, tuple, or dict before that line runs. For example:

block_types = ["grass", "stone", "dirt"]
selected_block_index = 0

texture = load_texture().get(block_types[selected_block_index])

If block_types is coming from somewhere else, double-check it’s not accidentally being overwritten by an integer earlier in your code.
