How to make a class in paradox3d

#1

what i want to do is make a class that contains the method “updateText” and that will draw text to the screen. now i have a method that does update text, but when i move it to its own class file. it just crashes when i make a new obj of that class. one problem comes from here
public class GameModule : ScriptContext
theres my class, im not sure if im suppose to be useing script context… so how would i make this work?

I would just make an empty class - not inherited from anything - and pass the Game instance to it, like so:

Class:

public class TextDrawer
{
    public SiliconStudio.Paradox.Game MyGame;

    public TextDrawer(SiliconStudio.Paradox.Game myGame)
    {
        MyGame = myGame;
    }

    public void DrawText(string Text)
    {
        // code to draw text here
    }
}

Then in your main-loop (usually called UpdateScene).

while (IsRunning)
{
    <SomeInstanceOfTextDrawer>.DrawText("SomeText");
}

You could also make a static class somewhere that holds the Game object, so you don’t have to pass it all the time.

Just a quick and dirty example, I’m not sure if this is the best way to do it, but this is how I’d do it.
If you could share more code I could give a more concrete example.
