Noobie Mac question

by Matt Van Gorkom · in Torque Game Engine · 12/11/2004 (6:33 am) · 4 replies

Just got the book and I really like it, but since I'm using a Mac I can't follow it exactly. My question is: on pgs 49-50 the Hello World script, how do I run the script on a Mac? The Terminal? I'm using JEdit with the TIDE plugin and I own the Indie liscence for TGE.

You may unzip everything on the CD. To run the script you'll need to invoke the console. that is done by pressing the "~" ( tilde) key after the game loads.

Check this forum for more info already posted for running the book examples on mac.

Hmmm.... I tried that, but I guess I don't know how to call the script. I'll keep looking around

The script file must be on your path. Try moving the .cs file to another folder down the directory tree to see where it's been searched.

I ended up using the maccmdline.txt file and typing:

-ch2 helloworld.cs



I was just getting confused between the Terminal and what maccmdline.txt need. It was setting the directory that was messing me up.

Thanks for the help
