Session Slides For 'Torque Script'

by Edward F. Maurina III · in General Discussion · 10/11/2004 (7:14 pm) · 5 replies

A big hello to everyone who attended my session as well as all the other great folks who could make this year's IGC. For now, I'm going to post my slides

www.hallofworlds.com/pages/Downloads/IGC04_Slides.jpgIN PDF (278K),

as promised, in the forums. I still have not completely restored/recovered from a drive crash a couple months ago which means my auto-update scripts for the HOW website are unavailable, i.e. I can't post a news item there. I'll talk to the GG folks and see if a link can be posted from the IGC site too.

Thanks again and I hope everyone made it home safely and sanely. I had a blast and I hope you all did too!

IMO this would be a more effective demo function if you changed it slightly to this....


function test()
{
    %obj = new ScriptObject ( testObject )
    {
          testField = 10;
    };
 
    echo("This object's ID: ", %obj);
    echo("Initial obj.testField: ", %obj.testField);
 
    testObject.testField = 20;
    echo("New obj.testField: ", %obj.testField);
 
    %obj.testField2 = "Hello World";
    echo("New obj.testField2: ", testObject.testField2);
 
}

Heya Ed,

Thanks very much for putting on a *great* scripting session at IGC. I think your talk was helpful even to the largely expert Torque developers at the show!

Yeah, Ed .. Just getting to see *all those binders* and the incredible amount of material you've put together was amazing. You put on a great, informative presentation. I can't wait till GG Press comes online!

@Gonzo - Yah. I see you flipped named vs ID accessed about there. Honestly, I threw this example together rather quickly. I think next year, if GG wants to do it, we'll have a session on syntax and stuff (intro to TS), and a second hands-on solution space session, where I can make these concepts more clear.

@Joe/Josh/Eric - You're definitely welcome and thanks to you. I had a blast and am type-type-typeing away working on finishing up.
