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: | |||
<source lang="papyrus"> | |||
float[] Array1 | |||
float[] Array2 | |||
float[] Array3 | |||
float[] Array4 | |||
function CreateArray() | |||
{ Use to create the array. } | |||
Array1 = new float[128] | |||
Array2 = new float[128] | |||
Array3 = new float[128] | |||
Array4 = new float[128] | |||
endFunction | |||
float function GetArrayElement(int index) | |||
{ Use to get the value of the array element at the given index (between 0 and 511). } | |||
if (index < 128) | |||
return Array1[index] | |||
elseIf (index < 256) | |||
return Array2[index - 128] | |||
elseIf (index < 384) | |||
return Array3[index - 256] | |||
elseIf (index < 512) | |||
return Array4[index - 384] | |||
else | |||
Debug.Trace("Error: Array index " + index + " exceeds the maximum of 511.", 2) ; Error. | |||
endIf | |||
endFunction | |||
function SetArrayElement(int index, float value) | |||
{ Use to set the value of the array element at the given index (between 0 and 511). } | |||
if (index < 128) | |||
Array1[index] = value | |||
elseIf (index < 256) | |||
Array2[index - 128] = value | |||
elseIf (index < 384) | |||
Array3[index - 256] = value | |||
elseIf (index < 512) | |||
Array4[index - 384] = value | |||
else | |||
Debug.Trace("Error: Array index " + index + " exceeds the maximum of 511.", 2) ; Error. | |||
endIf | |||
endFunction | |||
