Is it posible in maxscript to have something like map in C++? I would really like to do something like this in maxscript:
map["name1"]=1
and if I do later something like this:
x=map["name1"]
x should have the value 1.
This is just a simple example.

See the Dictionary Values topic in the maxscript reference.

This Dictionary looks like exactly what I need, but unfortunately it´s only avaible since Max 2017, which make it useles for me.

you can access collection members like that, but not the elements of arbitrary array
delete objects
t = teapot()
t.material = standardmaterial name:"abcd"
scenematerials[#abcd] == scenematerials["abcd"] -- returns True
(join #() scenematerials)[#abcd] -- Runtime error: array index must be positive number, got: #abcd
read about bsearch in mxs reference or look for examples at cgsociety.org maxscript related section

I don´t want to acces scene object in this case.
