  • Is there an included or 3rd party plugin for this? I want it to be Bank,Opera,A instead of 0,0,0 because numbers make it complicated for me because I am using 3-4 arrays at once for a function I want to implement. Dictionary doesn't serve the purpose for it because there will be hundreds of values to be automatically added, manually added or reached easily with parameters and actions like for each etc.

    And, can the original Array plugin be edited to allow strings so I can use it as a separate plugin for myself? Maybe it's not mathematically possible but I just wanted to know.

  • You can put strings into an array.

    Strings must be in quotes.

    I am talking about this

  • If it has to be a 2D array with strings as headers, you can try CSV addon:

    construct.net/en/forum/extending-construct-2/addons-29/plugin-csv-csv2array-csv2dicti-41868

    .

    Another option is to add a bunch of constants, for example:

    Global Constant BANK=1

    Global Constant OPERA=2

    Then you can use them in expressions - Array.At(0, OPERA)

  • The Json object would be more in line with that, but it's a bit of a pain to figure out.

    Thank you a lot for answering. And yes, actually constants may help to an extent but I will need to use about 40-50 of that. We'll see. Eren suggested me to use TaffyDB. I'll look into csv too. Thanks.
