which is a Namespace??

#1 Anyone is welcome to correct me on this but I believe a namespace is e.g:

function namespace::onCollision()

For example:

new ScriptObject(testObject);
//testObject is now the namespace for that object
function testObject::testFunction() { echo("foo"); }
testObject.testFunction(); // echoes "foo"

Thats specifically for TorqueScript tho, I don't think namespaces is used like this in other languages. Also I don't believe I covered the topic completely but should give you an idea of what it is.

#2 the documentation says that serve to implement methods to a class, however encounter script code like this I do not understand.

$pref::Input::MouseEnabled = 1;
$pref::Input::LinkMouseSensitivity = 1;
$pref::Input::KeyboardEnabled = 1;
$pref::Input::KeyboardTurnSpeed = 0.1;
$pref::Input::JoystickEnabled = 0;

This leads me to a part of the documentation "Namespace List" that the true not understand.

#3 For global variable names you can use "namespace" formatting to help organize your information. These are global variables - see the $ in front?

#4 For global variables it is just a way of identifying the variables. It doesn't have any specific function except for visual preference.

#5 Well, I clarify the doubts about this, is that I feel like a escabador in the ruins of Egypt trying to decipher things.

That only works with Global variables?

Now please an example of this list.

#6 Those the default namespaces in the engine. It is telling you what is being used so you don't reuse or so you know about them. I would guess however that the list may not be all that is used.

The reason to use those namespaces is so you don't have naming collisions:

// user data
$filename = "user.dat";
...
<a bunch of code here, or even in a different file>
...
// server data
$filename = "server.dat";

Oh no! My data is all messed up!

// user data
$userdata::filename = "user.dat";
...
<a bunch of code here, or even in a different file>
...
// server data
$serverdata::filename = "server.dat";

Ahhh! My data is just fine.

Everything is logical and uses good variable names, but stuff is in separate "namespaces". The two namespaces are $userdata and $serverdata. The same is used for objects to separate object types and even object function.

$userobj = new ScriptObject(UserObject);

$serverobj = new ScriptObject(ServerObject);

function UserObject::onAdd(){
  echo("Added a UserObject");
}
function ServerObject::onAdd(){
  echo("Added a ServerObject");
}

Both have the same function, but they do not get mixed up because they are in different "namespaces".

So you call them like this:

$userobj.onAdd();
$serverobj.onAdd();

Of course if you are using globals then this would be better:

$userdata::object = new ScriptObject(UserObject);
$serverdata::object = new ScriptObject(ServerObject);

// then call
$userdata::object.onAdd();
$serverdata::object.onAdd();

comprende?

Greatly appreciate the help, so I have an idea and slowly advance in understanding the script.
