How can I have each pass through a for loop communicate with a new indicator?

[M. Bobby]

Hello,

I am using 16 color boxes to indicate how 16 channels are behaving.  If a color box is blue, its respective channel is running correctly, red means it has failed etc.  I am continuously checking each channel using a loop, and I wanted to update the channel colors every loop.  I have made an array of 16 numbers corresponding to the color I wish to have (which are blue = running, red = failed, green = completed, black = not in use).  However, I cannot find a way to pull these 16 numbers out of the array and to the color boxes short of 16 index arrays connected to the color boxes. 

I understand how to convert each individual number to a color, I just don't know how to use a 16 times for loop to communicate with a different color box each pass through.  Is there any way to do this or should I just go for brute force?

Thank you.

Put the 16 color boxes in an array and index them into the loop

I just realized the color boxes are indicators probably.  In this case you can put references to the color boxes in an array and wire the reference to a property node and change the color that way.

Sorry I keep making new posts.  Attached is an example i wrote up.  There are three cases in the disabled structure, each has a different implementation of what i belive your specs are.

The reference/ property node combination is working very well!  Thank you very much.
