Function overloading

#1 You can use 2 things here:

1) Attach a class to a function

function className::func() {
}

2) Packages

package packageName1 {
 function func() {
 }
};

package packageName2 {
 function func() {
 }
};

Now activate the package that you want to use.

activatePackage(packageName1);
func();

#2 Here's an okay way to do it:

function scaleValue( %value )
{
  %numWords = getWordCount( %value );
  if( %numWords == 1 )
  {
    return %value * 5;
  }
  else if( %numWords == 2 )
  {
    return t2dVectorScale( %value, 5 );
  }
  else
  {
    error( "scaleValue error: invalid input [" @ %value @ "]" );
  }
}

If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to overload a function like this? Why not just write 2 separate functions?

#3 Thanks guys!!!

@Williams: I usually code in C++!! So i just wanted to put my C++ code into TGB script, thats all!! Sure, i can write two separate functions, but just wanted to know whether TGB script supported it!!! Anyways thanks for your input..!:)

#4 You just have to remember that all parameters in torquescript functions are actually strings. That's why function overloading can't work.

#5 Yes Alain, i too was thinking the same..!!!
Thanks for pointing it out.. :)
