vector array Error

[pascal]

I believe this is a mel limitation.
You cannot access $a[0].x directly, but have to pass trough another variable:

{
vector $a[] = {<<0,0,0>>,<<5,0,0>>};
vector $dummy = $a[0];
float $b = $dummy.x;
}

I'll try to look in the help to be sure there's no other way...

Ummm, yeah, there are a number of faults. Mainly, you can't declare vecotrs inside of array, and arrays inside of vectors. The two are seperate, if you need to make a multi-column, multi-row variable like that, just use a matrix instead.

Yeah, this particular mel limitation is a real bummer (;_;). I wrote my own matrix / vector plugin because Mel's types bothered me so much. I can't speak for expressions, since I've never used them, but most other Mel things that require a vector can also work with float arrays of size 3 (i.e. float [3]).

*sigh*

I'll try using both temporary nonarray vector and matrix as the situation demand.

Thank you for all replys!:wavey:
