components of vector array

[mhovland]

I think you need to declare your type as matrix:

matrix $mtx[3][2]; // A 3x2 matrix of floats

You do not have access to the vector components like you are thinking. You need to actually extract them out into floats in order to print and work on them as individual numbers.

This works:
vector $vec1[] = { <<0.5, 1.5, 2.5>>, <<3.5, 4.5, 6.5>> };
vector $vec2 = $vec1[0];
float $flt = $vec2.x;
print $flt;

I hate the idea of using more two more variables to access another variable but it will do the job.

Thanx for your help guys!

You really only need one more variable:

vector $vec[2] = { <<0.5, 1.5, 2.5>>, <<3.5, 4.5, 6.5>> };
vector $currvec = $vec[1];
print ($currvec.x);

Ah-Ha! It's those damn parenthases. LoL I know I should get in the habit of using those all the time when printing something. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I know that for concatination it is required, but it's hit-n-miss when dealing with straight variables. I guess Maya looks at accessing the components of an array as a suedo-concatination. Good deal...<mental note>.
