Question

I'm trying to overload a method... something like:

function Blah () { Debug.Log("Do Something"); }

function Blah (string : String) { Debug.Log("Do Something and using that String"); }

and I'm calling as: SendMessage ("Blah"); SendMessage ("Blah", "Hello");

If I put Blah() in first place at my code, I receive two "Do Something" message. But if I put Blah(string:String) in first place, I receive one "Do Something and using that String" and one error: missing 1 argument.

What's happening? SendMessage don't support overloaded methods or I missed something?

Quick solution:

function myFunction(args : Hashtable){
    var myString = args["myString"];
    if(myString){
       print("function with custom string "+myString);
    } else {
       print("function without string");
    }
}

you will always have to provide a hashtable as an argument, but just use emptyHash = new Hashtable();
