Beginner question

Why does this not compile?

void TestFunction ()
{
Runtime.PauseRuntime();
}

Why does that not work? It says "a namespace does not directly contain members such as fields or methods" when i try to compile.

Syntax looks perfectly fine to me.

I'm obviously writing this to try and get any idea of how i will use the code to work with stuff in-game. PauseRuntime() looked like the perfect method to use in an attempt to try the click variant of "hello world" (though it's more of an app-pauser than a text blitter heh)

Edit: Ok i see i've misunderstood how this extension works. The Startup Object is the name of the instance hmmm...

Oh thanks :O

Well... It'll take some time for me to learn how to use this thing i think. Then again i have done programming before but that was a long time ago...

Oh, sorry, still not correct.
Put it into a class and add "public" before "void"

using MMFInterface;
public class class1 {
void TestFunction ()
{
Runtime.PauseRuntime();
}
}

Ahhhhhhhh... Now it's starting to make sense. Thanks :D

using MMFInterface;

What does this line do specifically? MMFInterface has something to do with the method PauseRuntime?

Now it compiles but it does not actually pause the runtime when i call the function from the event editor. Instead the application sortof stops for 0.5 second only to resume again. Atleast there's a minor graphical hiccup :O

See that box in the top-left corner of the dialog?
It's a tree containing some functions.
MMFInterface
|_Runtime
...|_PauseRuntime()

Runtime.PauseRuntime() is saved in a namespace called MMFInterface, to be able to access this, put
using NamespaceName;
into your code.
you could do
using MMFInterface.Runtime;
as well, so you don't need to write
Runtime.PauseRuntime();
but just
PauseRuntime();

I can't really help you with your problem.. did you call class1.TestFunction?

PauseRuntime() doesn't do what you might assume it does. It only pauses the runtime timer and will resume it again if you run the resumeruntime() function (or whatever it's called). The sdk says it should be used around opening a dialog or something like that so the internal mmf timers don't get messed up.

Don't you have to have .'s in there?
Public.Class?

Or is that Java Im mixed up in....
/me stops trying to learn multiple programming languages...

Java and vb.net and c# use dots...

You can bypass certain namespaces by 'using' them or 'import'ing them.
