Character Selection System help
by Ben Ewing · in Torque Game Engine · 09/12/2005 (4:46 pm) · 14 replies
Im trying to make a system that lets the player select which avatar they want to use, but ive hit a problem, I think its this:
%player = new Player() {
dataBlock = $chosen;
client = %this;
};
I thiml its because im using a variable in the datablock place, are there any alternatives to doing this?
%player = new Player() {
dataBlock = $chosen;
client = %this;
};

I have implemented some form of player selection after receiving not much help :P, using guiObjectView too, but it's far from perfect.

If someone would be kind enough to post a resource on Player Selection, it would undoubtedly help nearly all of us. I have implemented some form of player selection after receiving not much help :P, using guiObjectView too, but it's far from perfect.

I think RealmWars has that if you want an example..You select an orc or an elf.

"starter.rpg/server/scripts/game.cs Line: 296 - Syntax error.
>>> Advanced script error report. Line 591.
>>> Some error context, with ## on sides of error halt:
error( "Attempting to create an angus ghost!" );
}
//GlowBody :)
//OrcBody :)
$chosen;## ##
>>> Error report complete."
I dont have the # signs in the actual code...

Ahhh still running into problems (The RealmWars selection system was to complex, I just want a simple "Press this button you have this charater") what does this error mean?"starter.rpg/server/scripts/game.cs Line: 296 - Syntax error.
>>> Advanced script error report. Line 591.
>>> Some error context, with ## on sides of error halt:
error( "Attempting to create an angus ghost!" );

error.
In this case you have a global variable refernced, but its not a legal line.
It does not say: $chosen = 1;
It just says: $chosen;
That is not legal sntax. The # sign shows you the error is after the semicolon.

The # signs are in the error to highlight exactly what part of the code is showing the error.

The #### signs show you where your error is. They are not in the code, but a way for TGE to tell you what's wrong. Your syntax is broken.

Thankfully, "/* */" work in 1.4. That one tripped me up a bit too.

There are quite a few divergences between C and TS syntax that take me by suprise. This is one of them.Thankfully, "/* */" work in 1.4. That one tripped me up a bit too.

You may wish to look for my "Actor" resource if you think you may want to allow people to change which avatar they are once the game is underway.tone

I have code in which before the game starts the player chooses a charecter type using the charecter displaying GUI (I don't have the exact name on hand) and then when they go into the game they start as that charecter I could give you that.
