Ah, I got the same error!  I didn't check if it actually created it though.  I'll just extend the struct though, that seems cleaner.

Cheers!

Oh, I just found out, that you *can* indeed do this and create an
array directly, as in attached patch. Pd warns "error:
pd-points.array1: not a number", it ignores the value of that number,
but still creates the array. For clarity I would still recommend to do
as below:
