Is ConsoleStaticMethod what I am looking for?

#1 It seems, it is that way. But it is not as handy as it seems. The handy stuff comes here:

#define ConsoleNamespaceMethod(className,nameSpace,name,returnType,minArgs,maxArgs,usage1)                             \
      static inline returnType c##nameSpace##name(className *, S32, const char **argv);               \
      static returnType c##nameSpace##name##caster(SimObject *object, S32 argc, const char **argv) {  \
         AssertFatal( dynamic_cast<className*>( object ), "Object passed to " #name " is not a " #className "!" ); \
         conmethod_return_##returnType ) c##nameSpace##name(static_cast<className*>(object),argc,argv);              \
      };                                                                                              \
      static ConsoleConstructor nameSpace##name##obj(#nameSpace,#name,c##nameSpace##name##caster,usage1,minArgs,maxArgs); \
      static inline returnType c##nameSpace##name(className *object, S32 argc, const char **argv)

This macro works exactly like ConsoleMethod but puts the resulting method in the namespace specified with nameSpace. Combine this with cool functionality from this and you can implement any method you want in c++ and use it as before.

Example:

// C++ implementation

ConsoleNamespaceMethod(t2dSceneObject,Player,doSomething,void,2,2,"Player::doSomething()")
{
     object->setPosition( object->getPosition() );
}

// usage in Torque Script

$player = new t2dSceneObject()
{
   class = "Player";
};

$player.doSomething();

Nothing big but handy - especially when you need to optimize but cannot implement the whole object in C++ because then you can't create and modify it in the level editor anymore.

#2 ConsoleMethod is the actual macro. And yes, it will make that method available to script when called on an object of that particular className. However, the class you are doing this on must have done the appropriate setup work first, ie: the DECLARE_CONOBJECT / IMPLEMENT_CONOBJECT macros.

EDIT: I didn't realize there was a ConsoleStaticMethod macro.

The same here. Found it when I was looking for something like the above.
