Checkers tutorial Question (I did search also)

by Justin Prate · in Torque Game Builder · 09/16/2009 (8:29 pm) · 2 replies

When I run the checkers tutorial (I just finished part 4) it loads up a places giant checkers on my screen. lol What have I done wrong? I read back through the 4 parts and it looks like I have everything the same...I am not sure what I am missing.

I did a checkers tutorial and read through a bunch of other peoples problems but have not been able to find whats up with this, any help would be great.

Checkers don't work in TGB174. Things have changed since that tut was posted.

Open clientCheckers.cs

Go to the function:


function ClientCheckerBoard::initPiece(%this, %type)

And change the "60 60" (below) to a smaller size to suit your board.
I used "7 7" as i had the tile sizes set to "8 8".

// set the piece's size and return it
%piece.setSize("60 60");

I know you may never see this, but for people like myself with this problem there is finally an answer.
