Dynamically allocated 3d array?

[Nobuyuki]

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if any of the multitude of Array objects out there, do any of them support dynamic reallocation (preferably with the preservation of data)? I'm really only familiar with Clickteam's Array object, so I don't know if everyone's been using one of the other Array objects for purposes like this.

Alternatively, do system resources take a hit if the standard Array is specified to a very large number (like 1000x1000x1000)? I know that writing such an array to the hard drive takes up an insane amount of space, but I don't know how the same array is allocated in memory from MMF.

Thanks :3

The Dynamic Array that comes with the bonus packs supports 3D arrays.

A 1000x1000x1000 number array takes up approx. 4*1000³ bytes in memory and as file - that's 3.8 Gb!

eeeep! That's a lot of memory! I'm assuming that Dynamic Array wouldn't do that, even with that many cells?! MMF Arrays must have a pretty big preset cell size to be that large :crazy:

Thanks for the information, I will look into Dynamic Array.

The cell size is, as you can take from my formula, 4 bytes. a 32-bit integer.

ah, I should've known that :crazy:

If you want to work with that much data, you'll have to only keep part of it loaded and load/unload as needed. It's not easy to get right...

What is the problem it you are trying to solve? Perhaps we can help you work out a more efficient method?
