Best way to start out scritping??

by Douglas Morand · in General Discussion · 02/21/2006 (7:20 am) · 4 replies

I'm currently looking to get into torquescripting, but am curious as to what resources are available to learn the language? I'll probably make a few scripts for T2 and Legends, and then go from there, but I'm wondering how you all started out. Are there some good "starter" scripts that I can work on (ex: hello world, etc etc.)

Take a look at the MinApp tutorials. They're a great starting point. Also, take a look at all of the scripts in the starter.base tutorial. They will help you get a more bare-bones look at a project. The Essential Guide to Torque is also a great reference. Edward Maurina has done an excellent job; so excellent as a matter of fact, that a brand-spankin' new version is hitting the presses! The old version is still available for free, though.

Thanks David, are there any good books for torque? Are there any simple games that I can start scripting for that would get my feet wet?

3D Game Programming All In One, Advanced 3D Game Programming All In One, and the forthcoming book by Edward Maurina will definitely get your feet wet. There is also a Tic-Tac-Toe resource which gets you working on a small game.

Thankfully scripting, I found is much more simple than coding.
