Question re: Performance with multiple arrays

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • For the project I'm working on I'm using arrays to store alot of data. Keeping track of all the data can be a hassle, but there's too much info to store in actives as named values. I just got the idea to split up the data over several arrays to at least make identifying the values a bit easier.

    Here's an example where using more arrays will be useful:
    1. I currently store all the values for the characters in one array. It stores everything from position data, character stats and animation data. Let's say the array dimensions are X: 60, Y:20
    2. I'll create two new Arrays, storing only the character stats in one and animation data in the other. So each array dimension will be X: 20, Y: 20

    If I were to do this in C++ for example, it wouldn't affect the performance. I guess my question is simply, will several arrays in fusion behave any different performance-wise considering there would be more objects?

  • Thanks, that's good to know! I'm currently using about 20 different arrays, I guess a few more wouldn't hurt.

    I think my mind is stuck in the early nineties as far as memory usage goes :P
