typemismatch on dynamic array

[Bloeb]

I'm trying to get the length of a dynamic array. I thought this would be straightforward, but I'm getting a type-mismatch-error.

code:

Code: Select all

local array<int> MyArray;
local int MyLength;
MyLength = MyArray.Length;

error:

Code: Select all

Error, Array mismatch in '='

hmzz, I'm just reading here that Dynamic Arrays are basicly useless in Unreal Engine 1. :S

Dynamic arrays were never finished in UEngine 1.0 (although most of the internal code is there, including compiler support). It's best to stick to static arrays if you don't want to code anything native. If you absolutely need dynamic behaviour you could try and use linked lists. (or even a hybrid approach with static arrays linked together).

Hehe, a linked list isn't going to work. I wanted to have a dynamic-array-property. A linked list can't simulate that behaviour. Therefore I'm left with static arrays.
