Question on how to use packages.

by Mark Barner · in Torque Game Engine · 11/13/2005 (1:18 pm) · 5 replies

I have read and search for use of packages in the forums. Read the documentation and K. Finney books. But I still for some reason cannot grasp on what packages are used for or how to use them. Can someone please explain it in simple terms. I tried banging my head on the desk approach... didn't work either, for just some reason I cannot understand it. Thanks for your help.

Packages are what we put things in to ship with FedEx. ;)

Mark,

Pls download the 'Tech School (Torque Script) - 0.3 MB' from my (very) old version of EGTGE (now known as Game Programmer's Guide to Torque - GPGT).

On page 20 is a description of what packages are.
On pages 21-22 you will some sample code that should be useful for examining the concept.

Before you ask. No, the code is not available. The version of EGTGE/GPGT that was released didn't have code.

However... I posted this sample so that you can download it if you want. Click here for the code.

I hope this helps.

@ Edward: Is this the same doc that is on TDN. I was printing out when I read your post. Thanks for your help.
