here is the code for 1 xml

Can you edit that please to remove all the extra spacing, it’s way too difficult to read with all the sideway scrolling.

What exactly is the problem you are having? That is, what result do you need, and what does your code not do that it should, or do that it should not?

@anonymousjames1515: when you post code on the forums, you need to format it so it will display correctly. (I’ve formatted the above code for you.)

You can highlight your code, then use the </> button in the editor window, or you can place three backticks ``` (top left key on US/UK keyboards) on a line above your code, and three on a line below your code. I find this approach easier, but unfortunately some European and other keyboards don’t have that character.

Thanks for reformatting the code. I am still unclear on what the question is. What isn’t working, and can you narrow it down to a section of your code?
