I want to use an array to control output values. What can I do?

Can we just assume I don't understand that sentence.
Because I don't.

Please post the code that you tried, describe how it behaves, and how that differs from what you ezpected.

Sure thing!

int potPin = 0;
int timer = analogRead(potPin);
int ledPins[] =   {2,3,4,13,12,5,6,11,10,7,9,9,8,10,7,6,11,12,5,4,3,2};

int pinCount = 30;

int pwmVals [] = {
  127,130,133,136,139,143,146,149,152,155,158,161,164,167,170,173,176,178,181,184,187,190,192,195,198,200,203,205,208,210,212,215,217,219,221,223,225,227,229,231,233,234,236,238,239,240,
  242,243,244,245,247,248,249,249,250,251,252,252,253,253,253,254,254,254,254,254,254,254,253,253,253,252,252,251,250,249,249,248,247,245,244,243,242,240,239,238,236,234,233,231,229,227,225,223,
  221,219,217,215,212,210,208,205,203,200,198,195,192,190,187,184,181,178,176,173,170,167,164,161,158,155,152,149,146,143,139,136,133,130,127,124,121,118,115,111,108,105,102,99,96,93,90,87,84,81,78,
  76,73,70,67,64,62,59,56,54,51,49,46,44,42,39,37,35,33,31,29,27,25,23,21,20,18,16,15,14,12,11,10,9,7,6,5,5,4,3,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,18,20,21,23,25,27,29,31,
  33,35,37,39,42,44,46,49,51,54,56,59,62,64,67,70,73,76,78,81,84,87,90,93,96,99,102,105,108,111,115,118,121,124
};

int valCount = 256;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);

  for (int thisPin = 0; thisPin < pinCount; thisPin++) {
    pinMode(ledPins[thisPin], OUTPUT);
  }
}

void loop() {

int i;
  
int sensorValue = analogRead(potPin);
  Serial.println(sensorValue);          
  delay(1);                             

int timer = map ( analogRead(potPin), 0,1023, 5000,100 );

//ONE

    for (int thisPin = 0; thisPin <= 5 ; thisPin++) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 127; i++) 
      {analogWrite(ledPins[thisPin], pwmVals[i]);
      delayMicroseconds(timer);}
  }
    for (int thisPin = 10; thisPin >= 6 ; thisPin--) {
    for (int i = 127; i > 0; i--) 
      {analogWrite(ledPins[thisPin], pwmVals[i]);
      delayMicroseconds(timer);}
  }
    for (int thisPin = 11; thisPin <= 16 ; thisPin++) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 127; i++) 
      {analogWrite(ledPins[thisPin], pwmVals[i]);
      delayMicroseconds(timer);}
  }
    for (int thisPin = 21; thisPin >= 17 ; thisPin--) {
    for (int i = 127; i > 0; i--) 
      {analogWrite(ledPins[thisPin], pwmVals[i]);
      delayMicroseconds(timer);}
  }
}

In this code, one pin runs through the array pwmVals[] at a time, while an array cycles through a series of pins in an array of pins.

What I want to happen is for each increment in the pin array, I want one different increment out of of the pwmVals[] array.

Thanks again!
