you can build your own multidimensional int array class(a class with one int arrays ) and call "System.Serializable" on the class. then build an array of it.

like this:

```auto
[System.Serializable]
 public class MultiDimensionalInt
 {
 public int[] intArray;
 }

```

Then you can build an array of it in your main class like this:

```auto
public MultiDimensionalInt[] myIntArray;

```

If you want a 2D vis of it (rather than the tree view you'd get in the Inspector), you could make a GUI panel and use something like GUI Textures or something which would be drawn if the array cell was true. Toolbar or Grid Select might work too.

Hey,

I stumbled in this same issue a month ago and after solving it, I have made a solution to this, now. I have made a grid view for a 2D array.

You can find it here: [Unity3D - 2D Array In Inspector - YouTube](https://youtu.be/uoHc-Lz9Lsc)

Its in c# though.
