I need to have it take the current_map variable and add it to the string, ".map_skybox" so it outputs (Not as a string) map1.map_skybox and uses that to display an image on screen. None of the methods I tried work. tau-pt-1_00.py

#find the cwd and put it into a varible.

#include all maps here.

print("starting chapter ", chapter_name, "...")

print("starting map ", map_name, "...")
current_map = map_name
print((current_map).map_layer_1)

I tried add the string like
map_skybox_current = (current_map.map_skybox)
and
map_skybox_current = current_map + ".map_skybox"
But all returned errors, or crashed Pygame.
