More Efficient Way to Code This? [Resolved]

I’m trying to set up a function that can work for multiple different sets of arrays and variables that are uniformly named but only the first word is changed in each. Is there a way to make this more efficiently where somehow I could do something like

set {BlockType}PropsHealth = for (Manipulator : {BlockType}PropManipulators) do {BlockType}Health

This is the current code:

PopulateBlocks(BlockType : string) : void = 
            if (BlockType = "Coal"):
                set CoalPropsHealth = for (Manipulator : CoalPropManipulators) do CoalHealth
            else if (BlockType = "Stone"):
                set StonePropsHealth = for (Manipulator : StonePropManipulators) do StoneHealth

One more efficient way to do this would be to use a Case instead of if…else if… blocks.

I can’t remember what I ended up using. I think I tried to use maps instead but ran into issues with containers inside of editable maps not working. I think in the end I just created arrays for each type and associated each type to an index.
