I don't fully understand this concept - the second struct, has two members of struct type 'Link' - but after it gets compiled, it will turn into integer arrays not 'Link' arrays. So how can something like lead to being capable of holding 8191 units in a total of 8191 instances??? I mean it works but I'm just so confused... ned help again :<

I'm not sure if this make sense but it's like taking something 2D and making it 3D? Wat da heck?
Like I could imagine setting a static integer array member and capping a max instance number,... but this is like having an array member in an array struct.

yea same here, I made the regular meat hook probably at least like 10 times, but I didn't undersatnd how to make it linked and stuff... btw a lot of this is ripped off another guy's code - What I did was take out all the systems it relies on, cleaned it to the bare minimum so I can understand how his code works.

btw anyone know what ModuloReal and Rabs is for in math?
