Client/server scripting commands???

by Azmodeus · in Torque Game Engine · 08/17/2005 (10:23 pm) · 3 replies

I have seen in scripts commands like %client.getAddress, or %client.getAuthinfo() or %client.isAdmin...

where are these functions defined and is there a scripting documentation that describes all of these functions?

If there is, I just havnt found it. Please point me in the right direction.

I think I'm on the right track. %client is derived from GameConnection. And any variable not defined gets created dynamically and assigned a value.

Ok great.

But, what is the difference between % and $ when it comes to variables?

A $ is a global, you can access it from anywhere in your code.
whereas a % is just a variable, local to that function and no further.

Have a look at Torque documentation, it describes a lot about the script language
http://www.garagegames.com/docs/tge/general/index.php

like what $ and % is for example.

I would like to see some reference properly describing the different member functions and variables exposed to the console/script for the classes like ShapeBase, etc etc. This http://www.garagegames.com/docs/tge/general/apd.php for Datablocks is pretty nice, but I didn't notice anything like that for the classes.
