## SIMatrix4.Get2

### Description

Returns the 16 components of this matrix in an array. The values in the array are ordered the same as the SIMatrix4.Get output parameters. This is the layout of the matrix:
| m0 m1 m2 m3 |
| m4 m5 m6 m7 |
| m8 m9 m10 m11 |
| m12 m13 m14 m15 |
Note: This method must be used with scripting languages that don't support arguments passed by reference such as JScript. For more information on getting output arguments, see About Output Argument Arrays.

### C# Syntax

    Object SIMatrix4.Get2();

### Scripting Syntax

    oArray = SIMatrix4.Get2();

### Return Value

Array ordered as m0, m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6, m7, m8, m9, m10, m11, m12, m13, m14, m15.
