Hey i have this so far as a little Dos text game

Code:

namespace AutoBattle
{   
        public class Start
        {
            static void Main()
            {
                Fighting.battlemethod();
            }
        }
}

and another class

namespace AutoBattle
{
    class Fighting
    {
        public static void battlemethod(string hero, string Monster, int Damage)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("What is the hero's name");
            hero = Console.ReadLine();
            Console.WriteLine("What is the Monsters name?");
            Monster = Console.ReadLine();
            Console.Write("{0} is facing a {1}",
                hero, Monster);
        }
    }
}

In main the Fighting.Battlemethod is highlighted and the error reads No overload for method "battlemethod" takes '0' arguments.
how do i fix this?

Give Fighting.battlemethod() some arguments, e.g.

Code:

Fighting.battlemethod("xpi0t0s","whitfox",MAXINT);

C# uses function overloading, which means you can have multiple functions named battlemethod(), but they must have different argument lists, for example you could have the battlemethod defined above for a player, a monster and damage points; you could also have one for traps where a player just gets hit with a number of points, you can have one with no agruments at all that does whatever seems appropriate etc. So the other possibility is to define Fighting::battlemethod(/*no arguments*/).
