Basic Tutorial Suggestion

by Drew -Gaiiden- Sikora · in Torque Game Builder · 02/27/2005 (4:18 pm) · 5 replies

Hey guys, just wanted to suggest that it be explained in the beginning of the tutorial that $ is for global data whereas % is for local data. The fact that I didn't know why only the player was prefixed with $ while everything else wasn't nagged me the entire time. I asked LabRat (on IRC) and he cued me in. I know it's a basic tutorial, but I don't think it's that complicated a subject to explain, and it's really the only thing throughout that I didn't understand - the rest of the tutorial rocks.

Might also want to put in a web link (at the end) for the TorqueScript docs.

Cool, thx Jason - the only thing is that if you don't have a TGE lincense, they only help you so much

Drew, in some cases that's true (like the engine setup sections). But the link above leads to a section about scripting that is totally available. I don't have a TGE license, and I read the whole thing. Hope that helps!

Yep, we should've added the link to the main TGE scripting docs, definitely. Will do so on the next rev (well, actually, probably not until after the platform build updates on Monday).
