If an array larger than 128 elements is required a work-around is to use multiple arrays to form one large array. Below is an example of how this can be accomplished for an array that can hold 512 floats:
You can create Arrays larger than 128 elements and variable in size using the helper functions in the [[Utility_Script#SKSE_Global_Functions|Utility script]].
 
<source lang="papyrus">
float[] LongArrayOfFloats = Utility.CreateFloatArray(512)
int i = 2048
string[] VariableSizeArrayOfStrings = Utility.CreateStringArray(i)
</source>
 
You can access it like any other array.
 
<source lang="papyrus">
Debug.trace(LongArrayOfFloats[250])
</source>
 
SKSE also allows you to resize any array on the fly:
 
<source lang="papyrus">
Utility.ResizeStringArray(VariableSizeArrayOfStrings, 64)
</source>
