Multi-dimensional arrays in Unityscript (Javascript) finally work!

Thank you, Unity, for getting rid of one of my biggest annoyances.

In version 2.6, this code for arrays would not work properly. In 3.0, it now does!

var myArray: Array;

myArray = [["A-zero", "A-one", "A-two", "A-three"],
           ["B-zero", "B-one", "B-two", "B-three"]];

function Start () {
	Debug.Log (myArray[1][2]); //returns "B-two"
	myArray.push(["C-zero", "C-one", "C-two", "C-three"]);
	Debug.Log (myArray[2][0]); //returns "C-zero"
}

Hurrah!

Unfortunately, neither

var foo = new int[10,10];

nor

var foo = new int[10][];

work yet in Unityscript, which is one of the main things I was hoping for in 3.0 as far as Unityscript improvements go.

No, but this works:

var foo: Array = [10,10];

Is that different than what you were trying to accomplish with your code?

Yes, that’s only assigning two values to a 1D array, it’s not creating a 2D array. Also, Arrays are terribly slow compared to built-in types.
