The first comments on this question puzzled me, as they involved setting custom property SETS, whereas the question seems only to deal with custom properties themselves. I may be missing something, but most of the commands quoted below cause an error in MC 2.4 because they try to "put" xxx into a custom property rather than "set" the custom property to xxx. To empty any of the elements of the array that it has been "set" to, the property should be written to a variable, the adjustments made in that variable, and then the property "set" to the value of the variable.
e.g., put the specialPrices of btn "PriceChecker" into holder delete holder["Apples"] put "5.50" into holder["Potatoes"] set the sepcialPrices of btn "PriceChecker" to holder Does this do the job?
