... a totally dumb question.
How do I create a global double array variable in GE (something like var1[var2][var3])?
I mean, GE lets me create a single array. And I could also create the variable manually (in the script).
But it needs to be global and ext int doesn't work.
Meh, I'm sure I'm overlooking a button or something.

Just create in the Global Code Editor. For example, to create a bidimensional integer array:

Code: Select all

int var2d[100][100];

The created var2d array will be accessible in any script.

Do you mean make the array dynamic without global code? Or just create the array. Because in global code you would just make it like this,

Code: Select all

int ARRAY[x][y];

The only problem with this is that x and y must be predetermined. You could then use a struct wrapper to make it dynamic... Though it sounds like you want to do this with the gameEditor built in tools, which I don't think you can do.

Well, thanks guys, it doesn't matter to me how it's done, just that I have it there, globally accessible and bidimentional. +1 for both of ya.

Okay, something else has just turned up: Runtime Error: "WRITE attempted before allowed access area."
What's that mean?

Make sure the index used in the array is >= 0 and < the declarated limit.

It means you are trying to write outside the limits of the array.

The array runs from 0 to size-1. So an array of 100 is from 0 to 99.

Right now I was not exceeding the limit... I was just using variables as index(es).
Well, I'll try to set the appropriate "if"-conditions. Maybe it'll work then...
EDIT: It worked. Finally. Be back with more array issues later (hopefully not).
Thanks so far.
