As we know, GE only uses 1D array that can be saved in group. I would like be able to save 2D and 3D array as well.

Also, please fix the array handler. It gets problem when handling high array. I encounter the problem when trying to read 50x50 array from external file.
The middle row shifted.

I would like also be able to change animation through animindex.

speaking very generally, how about flattening out a two-dimensional array to something like this?

Code: Select all

i=0;
for (y=0;y<10;y++)
{
   for (x=0;x<10;x++)
      {
         matrix[y*10+x]=i;
         i++;
      }
}

I use this as it's probably better on memory consumption, too.

It is far easier to load a 1D array from file. A little math will make it seem like a 2D array.

I know this...but all I want is to save the array in a group.
OK, I can store that array in a file, but I want it saved in group...

Do you have example to prove it?

Beyondthetech just showed you how.

Oh...just change the 10 to make another size huh?

And a very good idea, too!

Whats the limit of the array anyway?
And whats the limit of the variable?

I need to look he code, but I think the array index limit is the size of int C type (up to 2,147,483,647)
I can´t remember the limits for array dimension or number of itens but is a huge number.

Oh, but in variable bar, it seems about 999...
