I really need help :)

Hi!
I purchased torque engine few months ago. It's great engine but i still don't get it some basic things.

I am not very good in C++ programming and that's my biggest setback (I did learn a lot since i am working with torque).

So the question is:
How to persuade Kork to shoot in me?
I tried every tutorial I was able to find here but obviusly I am missing something.
Do I have to recompile every time i change something in scripts (cs files)?
Please help, any advice would be appriciated.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english but is not my native language.

Hi Denis,

You don't need to recompile the cs-script-files yourself, the engine does this for you if:
- there is no associated .dso file (the compiled script) or
- the cs file has changed

and

- there are no errors in the script, otherwise it uses the old .dso, for errors, have a look at your console or the console.log file.

About shooting Kork: have you had a look at this tutorial:

Thanks for fast response Stefan. I think I had try beffy tutorials but game freezes after it. Anyway I will try again and post console.log, then you will maybe have some advice :)

Thanks again.

Try the codesampler tutorials I found them a really good start:

Thank you all! Bots are finally running and shooting :)
I used all your links and found something usefull in all of them. I also find gamebeaver site very usefull.

You know starting with torque is quite difficult at beginning, but once you get the basics it's very fun!!! (Of course you all know that :)

Thanks again!!!
