Can I simulate a 3D array..?

[supware]

Basically, I want to give objects 3 coordinates and then draw them in procedurally, via something like for(i=0;i<50;i++) for(j=0;j<50;j++) for(j=0;j<50;j++) {if tile[i,j,k] = 1 draw_sprite(...)}.

But I know tile[i,j,k] is an invalid expression. :/ does anyone know how to get around this problem??

Hm not sure if this would work but i'm pretty sure that you can make an array of arrays in gms...so basically you create a 2d array whose first part is the x coordinate and then the second part is another 2d array that is the y and z coordinate

I've always found no need for 3D arrays, they're possible - but the lack of a negative dimension hurts their usability.

the 3D array is basicaly a trio of arrays

why no use a 3 arrays of 1D? for the cordinates

You can simulate any dimension of array with a 1D array, just use like tile[i*width*length+j*width+k] where width and length are variables/constants indicating the lengths of two of the sides of your desired 3D array.
