# Set Current Index

## Overview

![The Set Current Index Node.](https://1553081948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FU990HLHWA30dTfELtDUK%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7d9efcaddc486a75a790c07c3ea29fcb8bf8ad80%2Fsetcurrentindexnode20241.png?alt=media)

**Set Current Index** selects an entry item by using its index. It accepts a **List** **Object** and an `Index` value and selects an entry item corresponding to the `Index` value.

The index count starts from zero, which means that the `Index` of the last entry item of the **List** **Object** is equal to the total number of entry items minus one ("sum of entries" - 1). This follows from array-based indexing where the index of the first entry is 0.

[**Scope**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/overview#scopes): **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.

| --------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Index`   | **Int** | The default `Index` value if no value is provided to the input `Index` **Socket**. |

## Inputs
