i don't understand are you saying 2d arrays don't work? just a yes or no will suffice

No they do not work. See this: http://psx-scene.com/forums/f276/%5B...cripts-102230/

char *strings[5]; //did i define the correct number of items? should it be 4?
string[0]="hello";
string[1]="ohell";
string[2]="lohel"; //hello rotates like on a side scrolling electronic notice board
string[3]="llohe";
string[4]="elloh"; 

I was also answering your question from the code you posted. Yes, you defined the correct number of items for that array.

quick question do 2d arrays work in gta scripts?

char *strings[5]; //did i define the correct number of items? should it be 4?
string[0]="hello";
string[1]="ohell";
string[2]="lohel"; //hello rotates like on a side scrolling electronic notice board
string[3]="llohe";
string[4]="elloh";

char *newstring="00000";

newstring[0]=string[0][0];
newstring[1]=string[4][0];
newstring[2]=string[3][0];
newstring[3]=string[2][0];
newstring[4]=string[1][0];

//would newstring now say hello? 

individual string characters can be accessed by treating a string as an array in c


btw the reason for the example will become clear soon

I always thought you couldnt declare strings as an array of chars e.g.

char string[5];
string[0] = 'h';
string[1] = 'e';
string[2] = 'l';
string[3] = 'l';
string[4] = 'o';

COMPARE_STRING("hello", string);//which i think returns false

COMPARE_STRING("hello", string);//which i think returns false

what i did wasn't declaring it was referencing, arrays indexes are basically pointers

char *string="hello";

char *char1arrayindex=string[0]; //h from hello
char *char1pointer=*(string+0); //h from hello (again)

char *char2arrayindex=string[1]; //e from hello
char *char2pointer=*(string+1); //e from hello (again)

char *char5arrayindex=string[4]; //o from hello
char *char5pointer=*(string+4); //o from hello (again) 

correct me if i'm wrong, i'm sure @Raeralus would know

do you have a question relating to GTA IV modding?

we'll see if he finally answers, if not then his post is going to disappear

How about you go take a look at the 7 posts he made in the "GTA Online Mods (help)" thread. I'm sure there will be no hesitation in deleting those. He's just trolling, if you ask me. ;-)

@xX7MoD you're not welcome in my books, keep on with the spam and you'll find yourself being marched out of these forums

@GMFB thanks for the heads up on those posts

@ribonucleic
I dont know anything on this so correct me if im wrong but wouldnt something like this work for pointing your strings or chars.

char *strarray[2][5] = { { "hello", "ohell", "lohel", "llohe", "elloh" }, { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" } };

strarray[1][1]; // hello
strarray[1][2]; // ohell
strarray[1][3]; // lohel
strarray[1][4]; // llohe
strarray[1][5]; // elloh
strarray[2][1]; // 1
strarray[2][2]; // 2
strarray[2][3]; // 3
strarray[2][4]; // 4
strarray[2][5]; // 5
