I'm working on an RPG in Console (text-based of course) and I need to put a large amount of code into another CS file to be more organized. But I don't know how to call the information from the new CS file. And also, I have all my variables declared in the main CS file, can I use those variables in the seperate CS files ? And also I'd like to know how to get the information from the other CS file from the main CS file.

~Thanks in advance,
Seth.

I'm not sure what you are doing. If you could post some code it would help, but...

If you are just using one class then you can use 'partial class' to just move code to another file but still keep it within your curent class. This would maintain access to variables within your current class.

If you are already using more than one class just put each class in a seperate file under the same namespace.

Hope this helps,

You could create some separate classes in the secondary C# source file, so you could call the class members (as long as the source file is included in the same project) through:

className.Member

I do need to use the same class, that would be very helpful. Do you know how to use 'partial classes' because I've never heard of it.

Did you google it?

Hey s3thst4, btw I happen to be working on something almost exactly like you are it sounds. Well I am a few steps behind in the design phase still but I would love to hear how you are doing things. I am trying to perfect a movement system right now and I would especially like to hear how you did that.

Thanks a lot for the link. It should help me a lot.

Mine is text-based, no graphics at all. I apologize for misleading you.

No misleading at all. If it is text based you still might need a method of going from 'place to place' yes? Or is your version more of a story board where people get to choose things to do and see the results but not necessarily go from room x to room y and back to room x if they choose to?

And ty for the ty

Ah, I understand where you're getting. What I do is, here is some example code.

do
 {
   Console.WriteLine("Would you like to \n1) Go to town \n2) Do a quest \n3) Go to the shop");
   whattodo = Console.ReadLine();
 } while (whattodo == "" || whattdo != "1" && whattdo != "2" && whattodo != "3");

if (whattdo == "1")
{
  Town(); // A custom method I created.
}
if (whattdo == "2")
{
  Quest(); // A custom method I created.
}
if (whattodo == "3")
{
  Store(); // A custom method I created.
}

And in the methods I create, I give information what to do in 'Town' and the Town reverts back to the method that you just saw with the same with this reverted to Town.

Hope I was helpful.
