Function block

Hey this post should probably go in a diffrent section but I thought that you might understand it better.
It tells me how to make a function block and im not sure I understand. Its from 3dGPAi1 in chapter two. After the exercise it says this about how to make a function block:
begins with keyword function followed by 1 or more spaces and whatever name you want it to have.
after the names comes the argument list (or parameter list). Then comes the opening or left brace .
After that comes the body function followed by the closing or right brace.
Now if someone could make a simple function block with all that listed in there to show me what it is, Id be greatful. Thanks

This is one of those "forums help those that help themselves" type of things :) There are no less than two .cs editors (Torsion and Codeweaver) available from this site, an installer on the CD, and dozens of discussions on the topic "what's the best TorqueScript editor" in the forums.

The book covers this, not only in discussion, but also gives you suggestions (and even an installer if I remember correctly) for an editor.This is one of those "forums help those that help themselves" type of things :) There are no less than two .cs editors (Torsion and Codeweaver) available from this site, an installer on the CD, and dozens of discussions on the topic "what's the best TorqueScript editor" in the forums.

Keyword Function means just put the word function in doesnt it?
then the name like (this is book example) runHelloWorld()
then the parameter list like if (&toobig == true) echo("Its too big")
After parameters I understood perfectly. Did I get it right?
Or wait the parameters would just be the if and then in the main part of the function body (after the first brace) you put echo("Its too big")

Lets see if I get this after looking at it over and over again.Keyword Function means just put the word function in doesnt it?

You can open .cs files with notepad, but like Stephen said above: TORSION or CODEWEAVER are better options.

instead Go into any text editor (just try notepad first) and go:
File->open file
Set the 'Files of types' to 'All Files'
Go to the directory that has the .cs you're trying to open
select the file
click on open
edit: don't try and open the .cs.dso files just open and edit the .cs file

Don't double click the .cs file to open. instead Go into any text editor (just try notepad first) and go:
File->open file

Go to the directory that has the .cs you're trying to open
select the file
