Getting Started, Documentation Needed
by University of Bolton · in Torque Game Engine · 02/23/2005 (7:52 am) · 4 replies
Hi, I'm using this for a Uni project (hens the account).
Now, I've got to create an object which is, basically an obstacle. Which interfaces with another objects progress throughout the level.
Now I understand that it doesn't NEED to know what the object is, and I can make triggers, and I've found a tutorial to create a a shape.
But thats where it seems to end... The tutorial for the shape has an OnCollide function, but no code in it. I need to know HOW to handle collisions, and what functions I can do to Objects, in regards to making them vanish, reappear, fire up in the air and the like.
I can't seem to find any documentation, or the right part of the source to look at to do this, and its REALLY doing my head in. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe this list of functions and object types would help you?

If not, I think you need to explain your problem better.

Codesampler is how I learned to do the stuff you are talking about, so I don't understand why you didn't find it helpful.Maybe this list of functions and object types would help you?

Thanks, Codesampler WAS useful, its just very limited in what it tells you. It was useful to start off, but its a bit short and stops short of what I need to do. :-(
