TDN platformer tutorial problem

by David Reynolds · in Torque Game Builder · 10/08/2005 (10:16 am) · 9 replies

I've been trying out the platformer tutorial on TDN: tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/T2DScript/PlatformerPhysics (btw I love how TDN is looking) I've run into a couple of problems though. In the CreatePlayer() function the tutorial uses:

$player.setCollisionResponse(CLAMP);
$player.setCollisionMaxIterations(2);

when I run it I get an unknown command error for each of them. Are these functions apart of a new release of T2D? or are they deprecated? If they are deprecated what would I use instead?

Before I got this error the tutorial was using:

$player = new t2dStaticSprite()
   {
      scenegraph = t2dscene;
   };

which caused problems as well so I changed it to:

$player = new fxStaticSprite2D()
   {
      scenegraph = t2dscene;
   };

thanks

When the next version of T2D comes around, we'll notice that all the T2D objects will have changed names. Basically, they change from fxStaticSprite2D to t2dStaticSprite.
I guess it's not fair to call T2D an fx effect any longer.

The next version of T2D will include all the classes been renamed from using the "fx" prefix to the "t2d" prefix, so I guess the TDN stuff has been written with that in mind.

As for CLAMP I've seen it mentioned a few times, but I can't remember where, it might have been in one of Melv's plans about the new collision changes he's been adding for the next release.

@Hans, Thank you that's good to know. Do you think it's worth while getting the latest from CVS? (I'm assuming we can)

T2D isn't available via CVS. Although Josh did mention there might be a beta release of the new version for everyone to play around with.

@Gary, thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to the beta, I hope they let us play with it.

I hope they release the beta build soon so we can make use of the new tdn stuff.

I wrote the tutorials against an early version of T2D 1.1. From what I heard at IGC it is a matter of mere weeks before you guys get access to it. Hopefully tomorrow I can write up something really quick that will make things work with the current version.

I realized after I left for IGC I probably should have made this clear somewhere in the tutorials and I apologize for that. There are also a couple other changes I have made to the tutorials themselves that will get updated tomorrow.

@Adam, that'll be great! :) I can't wait to see the updated tutorials. Btw I really enjoyed the platformer tutorial. It was very easy to follow aside from the wrong version problem.
