Learning torque script

by Jonas Melander · in General Discussion · 02/03/2010 (6:34 pm) · 3 replies

Hey everybody!

I have recently started to learn torque script. I have started to moowe down tutorials in the documentation.
Have been going at it now for 2-3 weeks and it have been rather interesting i have read the syntax guide about 6-7 times and have moved on to the simple guides and at the moment i am working with the math guide.
And still reading the syntax guide once a day.

But the thing is that i don't really see that all the guides provided will even get me started in programming any kind of game its only the peaces without a picture of what i am putting together if you get what i mean. Of course i know the guides are just made to get me started but it feels rather distant.

So my question revolves around how is a good way to go about getting in a bit deeper into the scripting?
Is there any Ebook i can buy or any other source of information?

Also is it necessary to go the way via C/C++ to see the big picture?

Any answer or though on this matter is welcome!

Thanks in advance //Jonas!

Simply, look at the top of this page, mouse over the addons link, then click on the "books" button in the drop down. There are 2 books there by Edward Maurina that will teach you torque script. Both books are Excellent resources.
