Legacy GM DS_Map stored in a DS_Grid

[Roger Robertson]

Okay I'm sure I've missed this in the Docs, but how does one get a value from a ds_map stored in a ds_grid?
I understand how to create the grid with the map items however for the life of me I can't figure out how to read the map.

ie an 8x8 grid with a map of items "Sprite" = "spr_name", "Sound"="snd_boom", "State"="explode"

Any help is appreciated.

You need to pull the map out of the grid first, roughly like this:

var map = my_grid[# 1, 3];

show_message(map[? "name"]);

Thanks so much, would have never thought of doing that.
