Basically, I'm using a FormList to store a list of items, but I need to store the item's quantity as well. So far my workaround has been to store an instance of the item for every count, but this is disgustingly inefficient, and has caused noticable slowdown when working with a large collection of items. I've considered using an array of ints to store the counts, but the problem here is that I would need a non-fixed-length array.

I could use new to reallocate a new array each time I need it bigger, like I would in C++, but as far as I can tell there's no "delete" equivellant. Does Papyrus have garbage collection?

It looks like you can't use new with a variable array length...

I tried using "int temp[] = new int[countsize]", and the compiler gave me errors galore.

Anyone? Bump?

Make placeholder statics (objects literally named One,Two, etc) and keep the list indexes in order? Sorry, can't think of a better solution. If only we can Instantiate objects w/ Papyrus (one of my pet peeves)...

Believe me though the workaround this time around are a lot less crazy than ... When oblivion was around.

What do I do when I'm working with, say, 1000 of a given item? I would literally need *thousands* of dummy items.. tens of thousands if I really wanted to cover my bases....

Bump, I really can't think of a way to do this efficiently...

If only FormLists supported extra data....
