Alternative method. If the index is [[false]], this selects the first element of the array. If it is [[true]], it selects the second one. '''Obsolete syntax'''.  |= Example 2
Alternative method. If the index is [[false]], this selects the first element of the array. If it is [[true]], it selects the second one. The reason for this is that [[false]] is an alias for 0 and [[true]] an alias for 1. '''Obsolete syntax'''.  |= Example 2


|x3= <code>[[position]] [[player]] select 2</code> - result is Z coordinate of player position (see [[Position]] for more details) |= Example 3
