Question by andrewnobody · Jun 24, 2013 at 09:39 PM · javascriptvariablesthreadingpassingarguments

Passing a variable to thread function in Javascript

How do I pass variables to thread?

 #pragma strict
 
 function Foo(MyVar : int) {
     for(var i=0;i<10000;i++) {
         MyVar = i;
     }
 }
 
 function Start () {
     
     var VarIwantToPass : int = 123;
     
     var thread = System.Threading.Thread(Foo ( VarIwantToPass ) );
     thread.Start();
 }
 
 // Error is :
 // BCE0024: The type 'System.Threading.Thread' does not have a
 // visible constructor that matches the argument list '(void)'.

I saw some crazy solutions but for C# eg. like this:

 Thread t = new Thread( () => send2( var1, var2 ) );

How can I use something similar in JavaScript?

Pass the parameter using Thread.Start. e.g.,

 import System.Threading;
  
 function Start () {
     var thread = new Thread (Foo);
     thread.Start (123);
 }

What about more variables? Like 2, 3 or more? Is there any way to do this?

And thank you! This code is working, but only for 1 var. It's enough for now but I may need to pass more variables later.

What I do is make a class that contains the variable types I need, and pass in a variable of that class. For example, if I needed two ints, then I'd have

 class Foo {
     var int1 : int;
     var int2 : int;
 }

Okay, I'll test it when I need. Thanks!
