Two Dimensional Arrays?

Does Torque Script have a problem with two-dimensional arrays? I put one in a datablock and I keep getting an error right where I declare it.

I think that's the issue there.

To my knowledge, datablocks cannot contain 2d Arrays. However, everything else does allow it:

%array[0, 0] = "this be some text";

new ScriptObject(Matrix) {
   ThreeByThree[1, 1] = 1;
   ThreeByThree[1, 2] = 2;
   ThreeByThree[1, 3] = 3;
   ThreeByThree[2, 1] = 4;
   ThreeByThree[2, 2] = 5;
   ThreeByThree[2, 3] = 6;
   ThreeByThree[3, 1] = 7;
   ThreeByThree[3, 2] = 8;
   ThreeByThree[3, 3] = 9;
};

Thanks for your help! Got it working now! My problem was I wasn't coding it right. I was doing it like this: myArray[0][0]. It also works when I put it inside a datablock! Thank you!

I guess I learn something new today too. :P

I'm just too used to Tribes 2 scripting where we didn't have that :)
