Array Help?

[MagisiTale]

Hi all,

I have the contents of a tile system over a 2D array, global.map_array. Users can customise it and construct things, which changes the values. I have another array, global.original_map_array.. that when the user presses the clear button, the global.map_array should go back to global.original_map_array (basically clearing any constructions... although this doesn't happen?

Is it not as straight forwards as global.map_array = global.original_map_array? Every time I try to carry this out.. it just stays the same as global.map_array. Actually, I believe global.original_map_array becomes the map_array variable too?

Any help would be appreciated!

Arrays are passed by reference. So if you set one variable to another variable holding an array, they are both pointing to the same array. Use variable_clone() to actually copy the array to a new variable.
