Types : Direct Access

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Types : Direct Access

What is the best way to directly access a specific type instance? (i.e. without for/eachin).
With this code...
Strict
Global my_list:TList = CreateList()
Type person
  Field name$
  Field age
End Type
For Local x = 1 To 100
   Local peeps:person = New person
   peeps.name$ = "Joe Bloggs"
   peeps.age = rnd(1,100)
   ListAddLast (my_list,peeps)
Next
Local hero:person = New person
hero.name$ = "My Hero"
hero.age = 9999
ListAddLast (my_list,hero)
For Local y = 1 To 72
  Local peeps:person = New person
  peeps.name$ = "Joe Bloggs"
  peeps.age = rnd(1,100)
   ListAddLast (my_list,peeps)
Next
For Local z:person = EachIn my_list
  Print "Name :" + z.name$ + " Age : " + z.age
Next

how would I directly access 'My Hero' and change the age?
If you would have coded it differently then please let me know how with, if possible, a small example.
Many thanks

hero.age = 200


You can only directly access a type instance if you have a handle to it.
So either you need to point something to each one or you need to loop through the list until you find the one you want.

Perturbatio, very much appreciated. Thank you so much.
