» Wed Jan 01, 2014 1:50 pm Multidimensional Arrays in Papyrus:
Something I was tinkering around with today. I've tested it and it works. This is only a two-dimensional example, but it should be extendible into three dimensions (and beyond) if you would want to do it. I think this should also be thread-safe to use, which is an extra benefit. This example uses int arrays, but you could make a multidimensional array of any type.

Obviously there is still the inconvenience of having to manually define all one-dimensional arrays that make up your multi-dimensional array, along with the corresponding states. Speed-wise, however, I imagine this should still be quite fast, since it doesn't require any latent functions and it's not doing any heavy lifting to accomplish its task.
