Adding a new weapon...

by Josiah Wang · in Torque Game Engine · 11/29/2003 (6:53 pm) · 6 replies

I know this might sound like an extremely obvious question, but heck, I'm a newbie, so cut me some slack please =)

Anyways, my question is, what is the entire process of adding a weapon, or even an item for that matter?

Many thanks!

Ok :)

Have you made the weapon ?
If you have, do you see it in the show tool ?
If you see it in the show tool
make a new script from the crossbow or change the crossbow
script.

If you change the crossbow script look after the lines below
and change the shapefile

datablock ItemData(Crossbow)

-> shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/yourweapon/yourweapon.dts";



datablock ShapeBaseImageData(CrossbowImage)

-> shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/yourweapon/yourweapon.dts";

Hey Josiah, I just added a new tutorial to my website, which I think will help you a lot. The tutorial shows how to add a rocket launcher to a Torque game.

I hope it helps.
