Well, that link only provides a basic outline as to what an array IS. I'm looking for a VERY in-depth look at how they function. Thanks anyways, though.

You mean the internal logical process of an array inside the DBP compiler? Guess that's too deep down already. Knowing how to use the Array structure is already good enough. Furthermore, the link that Nuclear Glory provides there covers mostly of what an array does.

In simple programming words, an array is just a "Multi-Dimensional Variable".

There's only one hope.

Jess had a great explanation of the array, which I found handy once.

Hey, that actually helps!

However, it brought up one question.

Does that mean that arrays can't be used in something like this?
(I highlighted what I'm actually asking about with ''--- ---'')


sprite ''---array(num)---'',x(num),y(num),image(num)

The Great Poe,

My On Going tutorial 2d Principles with DB/DBpro will be showing how to use arrays for everything from a tile-based world, Item inventory, PathFinding, Player statistics, Unit Control, etc... You can check it out in the 2D Board.
