When I create a game object property, you have to assign the variable a value before it shows up in the editor, so that the editor knows what type the property is.

Is it possible to create a property that’s a table, or array, so that the user can specify multiple values in the editor? This would be helpful for things like spawn points, for example.

It seems not.

It only allows for [these](https://defold.com/manuals/script-properties/#defining-a-script-property) types from the [script properties](https://defold.com/manuals/script-properties/) manual page.

What I do is define a table in a [Lua module](https://defold.com/manuals/modules/) that contains the values and then I require/include this in the scripts that need them. I consider them constant values and don’t modify them. This works for me, but wouldn’t work well if many game objects all had different tables of values. What I do is more appropriate for [this](https://forum.defold.com/t/user-defined-drop-down-menu-for-go-property/64755) scenario which was never implemented as far as I know.

I don’t know of a way to do what ex. Unity or Unreal do with their array types in the editor/inspector windows. Maybe someone else has a better solution or we could suggest a workaround if we knew your use case better.
