[Opensim-dev] Region-Module Developing problems of a beginner

[lillith]

Hey Justin,
thank you for answering me ;-)

It seems i still do not understand how this Interface-stuff works.

what i did:

in Module 1:

public class PathfindingModule : IPathfinding, INonSharedRegionModule
{
     ...
     public void MyFunction()
     {
         ...
     }
}

also another file with the interface

public interface IPathfinding
{
     void MyFunction();
}


in Module 2:

public class TestModule : INonSharedRegionModule
{
     private IPathfinding m_pathfinding;

     public void Testfunction()
     {
             m_pathfinding = new PathfindingModule();
             m_pathfinding.MyFunction();
     }

}

(I simplified it a bit)

in Module 2 the "Testfunction" is actuially called by an inworld script 
(for testing)


This compiles and runns. But if i call the function in the inworld 
script, i get the error:

"03:37:10 - [SCRIPT INSTANCE]: Runtime error in script New Script, part 
Primitive 345f9256-6f59-445a-a639-2efe628a49e7 at <143.0292, 44.81059, 
21.25641> in DarkLand System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: 
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
(I Like this message because its saying "Anywhere in your 1000 lines of 
code something went wrong" XD)

After looking closer, it seem to happen because all variables in Module 
1 are empty since i created a new instance of that class.

But i would need to access the currently running instance of the 
"PathfindingModule" class.
