Array of an array in Unity Script?

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

So a long time ago I ran across some syntax that looked like which was sorta a double array. Now, I haven’t seen it used before and upon entering it into unity (ex. var texMap : Texture2D:wink: I got a parser error about syntax and semicolons. So the main point of this is to ask if there is a way to make a double array.

You cannot declare an explicit jagged array in Unity Script, you can in C#. You can implicitly create one, but that’s probably not really going to help you much. Your best bet is probably to create it using Lists.

You can declare such a list like this:

 import System.Collections.Generic;

 var myData = new List.< List.<GameObject> >();

This can be accessed using the syntax myData[0][1]; and is fully jagged.

Given that it’s a list you can also add and remove things from it.

  myData.Add(new List.<GameObject>());
  myData[0].Add(someGameObject);

Ok, thank you for the information.

Unityscript doesn’t directly support the syntax for jagged arrays. You can use 2D arrays, or a List of arrays (i.e., var textureArrayList = new List.< Texture2D[] >();), which amounts to pretty much the same thing as a jagged array.
