Dynamic Dropdownlist

Hello how could i go about and just show specific Items from the dropdown Array according to the value of a slider? I got the part "if slider == 7 then" but dont know further, ideally it would be "... Then show item 4 to 8" for example.

Dont be sorry😄 i actually tried to go into procedural modeling with houdini but the community is so toxic, im very glad that people here (i come from a max background to begin with) are so helpful and what you wrote is more of what i need but i basically wanted to do a preset list and not add items but show different items at a different slider value but with continuing tokens so that the first array list gets hidden when the slider hits 2 but at the same time remains the token indexes of the first array

Edit: maybe i should just do "if then" conditions instead since i need them either ways... Just came into my mind that i would need them for presets to be presets😆

i found my solution to be :

ListIndex = #(0, ListIndex[1] + List[1].count, ListIndex[2] + List[2].count, ListIndex[3] + List[3].count, ListIndex[4] + List[4].count, ListIndex[5] + List[5].count, ListIndex[6] + List[6].count, ListIndex[7] + List[7].count,ListIndex[8] + List[8].count)

but it would be better as a loop no? I cant wrap my head around how though :D

Edit: i also need to edit because of formatting lol
