** For arrays (lists), use the position number as a key (e.g., `IntrinsicModifiers`, `1`, `BULLET_ARMOR_DAMAGE_RESIST`).

=== Get an Item from a List (`get_list_elem`) ===
While `get_npc_var` can also access list items, this function is specifically for that purpose and is used by {{tl|NpcData}} when the `index` parameter is set.
 
'''Syntax'''
<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:NpcData|get_list_elem|NPC Name|List Name|Position Number}}</nowiki></code>
 
'''Parameters'''
* '''NPC Name:''' The internal key for the NPC.
* '''List Name:''' The name of the list property, e.g., `NearbyEnemyResistanceValues`.
* '''Position Number:''' The position in the list. The first item is `1`, the second is `2`, and so on.
 
'''Example'''
* The Tier 2 Boss has a list of resistance values. To get the 4th value in that list:
** '''Code:''' <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:NpcData|get_list_elem|npc_boss_tier2|NearbyEnemyResistanceValues|4}}</nowiki></code>
** '''Result:''' {{#invoke:NpcData|get_list_elem|npc_boss_tier2|NearbyEnemyResistanceValues|4}}
