Very good video, thank you! Super simple to implement and you covered all I need (at least for now haha!).

[@SGTIvan921]

Wow, what a simple solution! Super easy to implement. Any caveats to this approach?

[@GameMakerCasts]

I am sure there will be niches that you run into as you really never know.

I like the implementation, it's just what I was going to try to do. I am wondering about the array_push, as doesn't that just keep adding to the arrays?
