Bigger matrix?
Hi, I'm new to matrix and I was looking into it because I would need one but all I could find was a 4x4. My use for a matrix would be storing the amount of slots a ship has for every weapon class from one to ten. The classes go from 1 to 10 and there are 20 ships so I would need to be able to access to lets say the amount of class 7 weapons that ship 11 can hold. Is that possible through a single variable/matrix or do I need a new integer with an array of 10 for every ship?
Thanks!
Operations with matrixes 4x4 are intended for another. In your case it is necessary to create an array with necessary quantity of variables. For example(write on CSharp):
int[] myMassiv = new int[10]; //One-dimensional array of integer variables at 10 cells in size. Indexes from 0 to 9
Vector3[][] myVec = new Vector3[5][20]; //Two-dimensional array of Vector3. Minimum admissible address of myVec[0][0], maximum admissible address of myVec[4][19].
You can create any class and create an array of your elements of this class. For example, you have a class with the name myClass. Then:
myClass[] myMassiv = new myClass[10];
Certainly, instead of the digits determining the size of an array, it is possible to use variables.
That seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I will have to look deeper into the matter since a class is not verry clear to me but i have a good idea. Thanks a lot!
Those are two different concepts. A Matrix4x4 is a specific construct used normally for transform operations. You don't need a matrix, you just use arrays/classes.
