Hi,

just a thought, when I create a new array:

global PuzzleArray = new Array(64);
and later access it via:
PuzzleArray[ y * 8 + x] = value;

it works.

If I however make this:

PuzzleArray[ToInt( y * 8 + x)] = value;

engine crashes to desktop

Not, that it's critical for me. Just I am sometimes trying weird things
Anyways, is there any way how to create multidimensional arrays? I am right now using my matrix access functions into single dimensional array, but it would be nice if somewhere in future I could make multidimensional matrices.

Um, it's a bug all right
As for the two dimensional arrays, no, it's not possible. The only way is to "emulate" them the way you are doing. Perhaps sometime in the future when I get enough courage to redesign the scripting engine, I'll consider it (and, yeah, it *could* use redesiging, this bug proves it...).

* Maybe ++ and -- operators ??

* Maybe multiple levels in object accesing methods like... Game.Scene.GetLayer() instead of... var Scene=Game.Scene;  Scene.GetLayer();  ??

Yep, precisely!

Speaking of which. I have a general question regarding my stupidity.

I have this in scene_init.script

global PuzzleArray = new Array(64);

Can I reference this from another scripts?

I thought that the global variable should be visible everywhere. But I am not able to access it from any other script.
Could you just post here a syntax how to access it from elsewhere.

Thanks - most appreciated.

Yeah, I started working in WME recently and that puzzled me, too.
You gotta define that variable as global again in any other script you wanna use it in, and instead of getting an error or wiping it's data - you will be able to reference it. 
I find that a bit weird.

[deadworm222]

All variables you want to use globally need to be put in base.inc, because it's included in all script files by default (#include "scripts\base.inc")

[MMR]

Yep, precisely!

Great!!

Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention, that Mnemonic advised me on IRC.

Now I am struggling with Dijkstra's algorithm for my puzzle. It's kind of hard to implement with single dimensional array, but I am getting close.

Can't you use the built-in pathfinding?

[metamorphium]

well,

this wouldn't probably help me. I have a 8x8 grid and I have some dynamic sprites on it. I need to find if the sprite can slide from one grid square to another in every possible combination of obstacles, depending on users fooling around and moving obstacles. Or is there some more abstract implementation than waypoints?

[metamorphium]

HAHAHA,

it works. Dijkstra's path finding using single dimensional array only. Now I can port it to WME.
