boolean array

- If you place the array indicator before the event structure, you don't need the local variable to clear it first
- If you would use "built array" (highly recommended), you don't need to measure the array size over and over. "Insert into array" is not the right function if we simply want to append.
- Adding TRUE LEDs to an initially empty array seems silly. It would be better to have a fixed size array of sufficient size (all FALSE), then light them in order using "replace array subset".

i want to put on/off Boolean lights in an array and when another ok button is pressed an additional light is added to the bottom of the array, please help!
As said earlier, you probably want to use an array of fixed size in a shift register. and change elements from false to true in order. Do you know what a shift register is?

I also can't turn them on and off for some reason.
From the above, you seem to use an array indicator. Compared to a control, an indicator cannot be operated directly at run-time. If you want to also be able to operate the array elements directly, you need to make it a control. In this case you would need a local variable to do programmatic value changes.
If you don't understand what I am saying, you need to start with a few basic LabVIEW tutorials. If you would post your VI, we will help you make it work and give more specific advice.
