[C#]Use Thread in unity

Hello everyones !
I am trying to use thread in unity to write in files, I am not using unity API inside of my threaded functions.
It appears thread are not working for me ...
All I get is many error messages in visual studio.

I tried copying msdn code (like from here) but I always get error messages. Then I looked on the asset store and test this but I got many compilation error from unity. I tried the code from many other msdn pages and unity forum solved post but it didn't help.

Among all the errors I get I always get error CS1729 when creating thread like :

Code (CSharp):

1.         Thread _thread= new Thread(AnObject.Afunction);

Where "anObject" is a class containing a method "Afunction".
I don't know what to do it seems many people are using thread easily and I would like to be able to do so.

Please help me unity developpers you are my only hope ...

 

Are you using the namespace system.threading?

 

Hello and thanks for your response !
Yes I am.

 

paste your entire script and we may better be able to assist you

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Threading;
4.  
5. public class Thread : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     [System.Serializable]
8.     public class threadHandle
9.     {
10.         public  void    calculus()
11.         {
12.             // do something
13.         }
14.     }
15.  
16.     void Start () {
17.         threadHandle _handle = new threadHandle();
18.         Thread thread = new Thread(_handle.calculus);
19.  
20.         thread.Start();
21.     }
22.  
23.     void Update () {
24.    
25.     }
26. }
27.  

 

Your class is named Thread. It uses that instead of System.Threading.Thread. I suggest to rename it, however you can replace Thread inside it with direct disambiguation by using System.Threading.Thread instead.

 

I tried to use "new ThreadStart(_handle.calculus)" on the "new Thread()" but it doesn't work either.

 

Just rename your class from "public class Thread" to "public class ThreadWorker" and rename file to same as well because otherwise Unity won't pick up monobehaviour.

 

Indeed folks ... Thank you !

 

Sorry, that reply went a little wrong!

What I was trying to do before my browser reloaded was change the code to have ThreadWorker as the name of the class (as previously suggested) AND the thread start (which you will need) in the declaration of the thread!

I can try again unless you have already changed your code!

Yeah, don't overrite .NET names with your classes lol
