Usefulness of TGEA Documentation

by Ryan Neighbour · in Torque 3D Professional · 08/26/2009 (9:11 pm) · 1 replies

The more I play around with T3D the more I realize that aside from making pretty maps I really have no idea what I'm doing.

I'm working on a simple project that I've made some maps for and I'm itching to get some actual gameplay started. The problem is that I don't really know how T3D or it's systems really work.

Unfortunately the docs aren't completed yet (great work on what's been finished though!) so I figured that I'd start by going through the TGEA docs on scripting. Is this a viable approach until the docs are done or has too much changed from TGEA to T3D?

Cheers!

    Sure. With minor exceptions everything that I ever learned in TGE (script-wise) is still relevant in Torque3D. For that matter, things that I learned in Tribes modding have been of value. Torque script hasn't changed over the years. A few console commands linked to the engine may have been replaced/deprecated/added, but the language and the conventions are just the same as they've always been... with a little "sugar" thrown in over the years.
