TGE 1.3: F7 dropPlayerAtCamera

by Ray Depew · in Torque Game Engine · 09/25/2004 (6:26 pm) · 5 replies

I'm reluctant to call this a "bug" because it might just be pilot error.

In both the starter.fps game and the starter.racing game, I noticed that the F8 key ("enable astral projection mode") works fine, but the F7 key ("okay, back to reality") doesn't work at all.

I checked the VC++ compile log and didn't see any compilation errors.
I checked starter.fps\client\scripts\default.bind.cs, and the only thing I could see was a capitalization inconsistency in the three references to dropPlayerAtCamera. Fixing the capitalization didn't fix the problem, of course.

Has anybody else noticed this?

More info:

F7 works as expected in the tutorial.base game.

Ye i have noticed i don't use scripts from head so it must be somewhere in there .

This is how it works now
Press F8 and after that go in to the editor and back and then press F7 and it works :)

Someone changed something in head or and 1.3
Haven't searched for that error maybe someone have a fix !

Yeah, opening the editor fixes it, I think I knew why it was caused before, but never got around to fixing it, it's not that annoying :)

Hehe someone hade some fun and turned this off !

Server/init.cs 
// Turn on testing/debug script functions
   $Server::TestCheats = false;

Change it to true and it works :)
