addattrib array problem

[j00ey]

Can someone demystify the docs for me regarding adding an array attribute with addAttrib? I found an example using addattribute but that's deprecated now and I can't figure out the syntax.

I can't do   f[]@arrayName;

because I need to loop through a number of points and for each point add an empty detail array.

This is what the docs say I should use -

"int addattrib(int geohandle, string attribtype, string name, float defvalue[])

defvalue provides the default value for the attribute and determines the type of attribute to create. String and array attributes cannot have defaults, so only the type is used in those cases."

If anyone knows could you fill in the ***s in this line? I've tried all sorts and nothing works.. Thanks very much

addattrib(geoself(), "detail", "test", ***);

Should always think before posting! I tried doing it in an Attrib VOP and found the correct form.

For anyone interested it works like this : 

addattrib(geoself(), "detail", "test", {});

and for strings this seems to work

addattrib(geoself(), "detail", "test", {""});
