You can put multidimensional arrays into properties, at least as of what.. 3.5? If I recall correctly, the only real issue with this is that you have to pull the whole thing back out as a unit to work with it. I'm not positive, but I don't think it arrayencodes and decodes when you get and set. bit not sure. When looking at a property that is an array in the inspector it says this: * The value of this custom property is an array and can only be edited in the Property inspector if it is first converted into a string. Doing this will empty the array. If you are sure you want to do this, double click on this field*
