Having troubles pushing into an array which is a property of an object

Question

I have this array called "players" which stores all the players, each element of this array contains each individual player stored as an object, and this player object contains a property called "time" which in it of itself is an array. When ever I try to push an integer into this time array, I get a "time.push() is not a function" error.

players[data.num].time.push(uptime());

what I am attempting here is array[index].array.push()

This array is undefined and is declared like this.time = []; The player objects were made by constructor function as well.

Here are the other arrays I mentioned before;

var players = [];
players.push(new Player(0,0,true));

Player() is a constructor function that contains this.time = [];

Any help is appreciated.

Provide a [mcve]. All we can do is guess based on your written description. — charlietfl, Jul 04 '17 at 19:37
You need to have initially `players = [ {time: [], ...}, ... ]` to be able to use `push` — Alberto Trindade Tavares, Jul 04 '17 at 19:39

This is not a duplicate, I understand how to access it, this question is asking of how to write it out, but I already understand the syntax — Canatron, Jul 04 '17 at 19:43

I base my answer upon that you have an array of objects with another array in each object. Then this should work.

var objs = [{array:[]},{array:[]},{array:[]}]

objs[0].array.push("test");

console.log(objs)

I am doing this though, but does it make a difference that the player object I discussed before was made by a constructor function? – Canatron Jul 04 '17 at 19:49
@Canatron Could you share more of your code? Is there any async actions perhaps? – ffffff01 Jul 04 '17 at 19:53
what is an asynchronus action? – Canatron Jul 04 '17 at 19:54

Very stupid mistake.

this.time = [];

and just a few lines later...

this.time = 0;

I created the former this.time = 0; for animation, I forgot about it when making this array and as you know, you cannot push into and int variable.

Sorry for causing all the trouble...
