(Dynamic Array) Setting Keys & Bricks & Lighting

[Nifflas]

Nifflas, why do you find it so powerful? Perhaps I need to give it a second look.

...because of that you have full control over how to store the data. If you want to store a byte (0-255) with another of the array extensions, you'll still have to allocate more memory than one byte to do that.

Due to the nature of this extension, it's better to have a separate expression to combine the x, y, and z positions. Since different data types requires a different number of bytes, you'll have to be more creative when it comes to deciding how to get the correct positions... When dealing with integers, you might want to use solutions like:

Write(Integer, CombineXYZ(x,y,z)*2)

...or when using the first 50 bytes to store some one-dimensional data, and the bytes after to store a three dimensional array, you'll have to do something like:

Write(Integer, 50+CombineXYZ(x,y,z))

No tutorials or examples available for the Binary Array object? I'm used to the old Array object where you can do stuff like Get Value from X,Y or Current X,Y whatever it is. All these "Byte" and "Integer" options confuse me.
