Chapter 4 problems
by Matthew Ruggiero · in Torque Game Engine · 06/30/2004 (9:19 am) · 10 replies
I typed in all the files as they are written in the text and I am unable to run the chapter 4 sample. I checked the files against the working chapter 4 files provided on the CDROM and I do not find any differences.
Has anyone else had problems with this example.
I am beginning to think my experience with this book is going to be me stumbling over erroneous code.
Very frustrating indeed!!

It should probably be a Typo, a missing colon on the function name, perhaps.

Line 21 is the definition of the function SpawnPlayer.It should probably be a Typo, a missing colon on the function name, perhaps.

They are EXACTLY the same!!
I am not sure why mine doesn't work.
Maybe the torque script parser has a problem with certain hidden characters.
It is possible that there was a hidden character in there somewhere.

OK I just replaced my server.cs with the one on the CDROM.They are EXACTLY the same!!

It's possible. What is your editing environment?

I was using the trial version of UltraEdit-32 that came on the books CD.

Found the bug in my last post and fixed it. Now the path just dies in %conn.connectLocal(); All I get is a black screen with red trails where the mouse moves. Any hints?

I'm getting that same black screen with a red trail following my mouse also. However the console (tilde) works but not without glitches.

@Robert I finally just copied the source files from that chapter on the disk over and it works. I think there was a file supposed to be there not mentioned.

control/server.cs (21): Unknown command spawnPlayer.
I compared it to the working versions and control/server.cs is exactly the same!!
I even copied over the common folder from the working version and that did not fix the problem.
Does anyone know where this spawnPlayer function is supposed to be?
