I guess feeding an array to a function as an argument is a no no?

code:
int myarray[2] = {5,2};
script 1 open{
    while (1){
        printThis(myarray);
    }
}

error says:
missing '['

But if I change the first line to
int myvar = 5;
there's no errors (printThis is a simple test function not shown).

You guessed right. You can only pass integers as parameters to functions and scripts.

Aw nuts, thanks for the confirmation.

Edit: actually I'm probably an idiot because arrays have to be global anyway (declared outside of scripts).. so functions can probably access them without needing them as a parameter.

Probably what you'll have to do then is define constants which indicate which array your function should use and then use a large switch or if/else chain to pick the proper array. Then you can pass the constant to the function instead of the array itself, kinda like a skank version of a hash key or pointer.
