Ouch... not sure what you're TRYING to do, but that's not it. Here are
some ideas:
First, define your list. I'll just copy the list you provided:
pieceList = ["CONE01", "ROOKPLY1L", "BISHOPPLY1L", "KNIGHTPLY1L",
"KINGPLY1", "QUEENPLY1", "KNIGHTPLY1R", "BISHOPPLY1R", "ROOKPLY1R",
"PAWNPLY1_1", "PAWNPLY1_2", "PAWNPLY1_3", "PAWNPLY1_4", "PAWNPLY1_5",
"PAWNPLY1_6", "PAWNPLY1_7", "PAWNPLY1_8", "ROOKPLY2L", "BISHOPPLY2L",
"KNIGHTPLY2L", "QUEENPLY2", "KINGPLY2", "KNIGHTPLY2R", "BISHOPPLY2R",
"ROOKPLY2R","PAWNPLY2_1", "PAWNPLY2_2", "PAWNPLY2_3", "PAWNPLY2_4",
"PAWNPLY2_5", "PAWNPLY2_6", "PAWNPLY2_7", "PAWNPLY2_8"]
Now, you can go through each item. There are a couple of ways, depending
on whether or not you need to know WHICH item it is.
I'm not familiar with the 3D commands, like addChild, so forgive me if I
make a 3D faux pas:
repeat with thisPiece in pieceList
scene.group("ALL").addchild(thisPiece)
end repeat
which sucks out each entry (first "CONE01", then "ROOKPLY1L", then
"BISHOPPLY1L", etc..) and supplies it to the addchild function.
OR, you can do it by index, like this:
numPieces =count(pieceList)
repeat with x=1 to numPieces
thisPiece =pieceList[x]
-- Do something with thisPiece, or do something
-- with your index 'x'
end repeat
Does that get you a little closer to what you want to accomplish?
