Game Loop ????

by Mike Wigand · in Torque Game Engine · 02/05/2002 (1:23 pm) · 3 replies

Im trying to find where I would place some code that would execute every game cycle. Would this be in the scripts or in the engine?

Thanks,
Mike

It would be in the engine. I believe that the location you are looking for is, unfortunately, located in each platform directory. Basically you'd have to add your code to each platform 'loop'.

Are you sure? I'm not very experienced with the torque codebase but it seems to me that's in "game/main.cc", in the main() function. (The render itself being done in the processTimeEvent() indirectly called by main() through TimeManager::process()).

Putting your function in processTimeEvent has the added value of being journalable, much nicer for debugging.
