dDimension provides a limited array system for unlimited dimensions, see the example below. Please, do read the include file before asking for further information.

Developing

The syntax is horrible for my opinion, yet I couldn't come with anything more reasonable. Write a better one and I will be happy to move to that one.

Adding warnings for index out of bounds should be easy, somehow I found that tagof isn't working as it should be ( at least not in our pawn version ), so I'm currently believing that tag mismatch warnings will never be achieved.

I appreciate you developing dDimension. Even if you just used it, add a post below as I will be working with the system only if someone uses it. Thank you for co-operating.
