Adding new values to arrays, how?

[Nexxtic]

Is it possible to add values to arrays through a script? Like how you use name ArrayName.add(value) on java, or ArrayName.append[] on Python?

[scifista42]

Value assignment is done by "arrayName[x] = y;", where "x" must be a non-negative number strictly lesser than the array's size. Size of an array is fixed to the value you declare the array with, and can't be changed at runtime.

As long as you declare your array a certain size, those values are initialized at start. You can add values in-game with a script as usual, up to the declared size. But you cannot resize your array.

 

Be careful: if you have more than one script updating/reading the same array, you will run the real risk of experiencing race conditions. You cannot control which script will run first within a given tic.  If the values in your array are meant to convey information about a Thing, you're much better off storing those values in that Thing's COUNTx properties instead.
