distinct non visual objects' type

[1rstSol]

I have declared two non visual objects:
- uo_food
- uo_goodfood

I’d like to write 2 methods “eat” in a same non visual objects.
How can I do to distinct such call :

public subroutine eat(userobject n) // userobject should be a uo_food type
messagebox("info","food")
end subroutine

and

public subroutine eat(userobject n) // userobject should be a uo_goodfood type
messagebox("info","goodfood")
end subroutine

Thanks,
1rstSol

Is good food descended from food?

If so I am not sure you can overload a fucntion with a descendant - have to say I cannot remember ever having tried it.

I assume that you have dived in and given it a go and it told you to sod off?

Do I understand correctly, you want to create one non visual (say uo_Control) that contains two eat functions with the same argument only a different result based on the actual type of userobject you pass in?

I don't think that is possible, but maybe this is an idea..
Have the 'overal' non visual use a dynamic function call to call a eat function/sunroutine defined on uo_food and uo_goodfood.

Should be something like this.

On uo_food define:
public subroutine eat()
messagebox("info","food")
end subroutine

On uo_goodfood define:
public subroutine eat()
messagebox("info","goodfood")
end subroutine

On the ou_control (or whatever opject you want to use as a start) define:
public subroutine eat(userobject n) // userobject should be a uo_food type OR uo_goodfood
n.dynamic eat ()
end subroutine

Hope this helps..
