ArrayBuffer and Uint32Array issues

Hi,

I've been given a script written in actual Javascript that makes use of ArrayBuffer and Uint32Array. I've managed to convert a good chunk of the script to UnityScript but can't find any way to get Unity to make use of ArrayBuffer or Uint8Array.

Is there some way I can import a file or dll such as Systems.Data.DataView or similar to get it to work? Or is there a way I can mimic their type? Is there a UnityScript version of these JavaScript types I could use instead?

Thanks for any help or information.

 

If I'm understanding the documentation correctly, ArrayBuffer is just a block of bytes that can be treated as different types of array by using different views?

If that's the case, and you're just using it with uint32, then List<uint> should work as a substitute. Or List<byte> if you want 8-bit values.

If you want the functionality of treating the same memory block as both 32-bit and 8-bit values, that's not something that's encouraged in C#, but you basically want reinterpret_cast, so that's a good term to look for.
For example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/479705/reinterpret-cast-in-c-sharp

 

Thanks for replying Error, I'll give a proper read through the link and see what I can use from it. Definitely got me on the right track though, sound.
