[Closed] how to store a 2d array in a CA
SMData = attributes "SMData"
(
parameters main rollout:blank
(
Layer_Name type:#StringTab tabSizeVariable:true animatable:false --array of strings.
Layer_GroupName type:#StringTab tabSizeVariable:true animatable:false --Array of strings.
)
rollout blank "blank"
(
)
)
--
custAttributes.add globaltracks SMData
--empty the arrays
globaltracks.SMData .Layer_Name =#("dedo","casa")
globaltracks.SMData.Layer_groupname = #(#("dedo",#("casa","dedo")))
this will create a ca in the global tracks where i am saviong arrays.
i can add array of string without problem as seen on the globaltracks.SMData .Layer_Name =#(“dedo”,“casa”)
but can save 2d arrays as #(#(“dedo”,#(“casa”,“dedo”)))
is any parameter that will be allow to save 2d or 3d array. i ben sen of kind of parameter but loks oneone can do it.
or if not is any option method.
help will be much apreciated
found a solurtion ,save each 2d array as string and ad later the info of the 2d array with an execute.

globaltracks.SMData .Layer_Name =#()
a = #("dedo",#("hola", "casa" ))
b = a as string
globaltracks.SMData.Layer_groupname =#( b)
c= globaltracks.SMData.Layer_groupname
d=execute c[1]
d[2]
if you want to create a multidimensional array you can define it as:
myMultiDimArray = #(#(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10),#(10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100))
-- add a third element to the array containing 10 more elements
append myMultiDimArray #(100,200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900,1000)
myMultiDimArray[2][5] --> returns 50 - the 5th element of the 2nd sub-array
this is from the maxscript reference file… Tag: How to create a multi-dimensional array
hope this helps
Edit: Should have read the whole post… Just repeated your solution :surprised
sorry abyjoe i dint want to know how too do 2d arrays (that i already know) it was more about how to save the 2d array in a atributte inside of a custom atributte.
Hey wahooney thanks for the time to write the code, i loving your scripts :), goood to know we endup with the same solution :).
