Are there any barebones demos?

by Stephen Thompson · in Torque Game Engine · 01/19/2004 (4:07 am) · 4 replies

Does anyone in the community have any barebones projects that they'd be willing to share (or have already shared somewhere)? I'm interested in getting started on my first project, but I'm not going the FPS route. I'm more interested in the control schemes in games like Chain Reaction or the Bridge Construction set. Or anyone doing anything with a floating camera as the "player."

Any demos/tutorials that talk about object selection with the mouse and other things laong those lines would be helpful as well. Does anyone have any ideas?

Just spawn the player in control of a camera instead of a Player instance, and you're there... :)

I posted a mini-tutorial that might be what you want:

Ben u might want to rephrase that :p

"Just set the client in control of a camera when they join instead of a spawning a player instance to control."

My phrasing is a bit off, indeed. :)
