Store 2 variables into a 2D array

[Hblade]

Can this be done?
Storing the information of 2 variables into a 2D array. Example:

Code: Select all

array[var1][var2]


Would this even be useful?

Not sure what you mean by store variables into the array. Of course a 2d array could store two variables, or any even number. As for your code bit, that use is extremely useful in grid based games. You store some value according to two unique indexes, for example the actor's X on the grid and Y on the grid (X and Y are grid coordinates, not real coordinates). This is also how you set up your own tile map maker (each position in the array [X][Y] holds the value of what tile should be created there).

Try doing this

Code: Select all

int array[var1][var2][2];

That way, for each spot in your 2d array, you have 2 different values. You can access them like this:

Code: Select all

array[i][j][0];//access the first value
array[i][j][1]//access the second value

Is that what you were looking for?
