Player Question

by Bryan Rayner · in Torque Game Engine · 06/09/2006 (2:21 pm) · 2 replies

Would Torque (anthropomorphising here) get mad at me if i took out the player class (or turned it off so to speak)

What I mean is, is how integral is Player to the engine?

I'm thinking of doing something based on marbles and darts and mini-putt for my first game. (Seems like everyone does something like that first, dosen't it) I realize that I don't need the player object at all, and I'm wondering weather I am wrong in this regard.

I see no need to "remove" it. but you don't have to have a player in your game. or a control object for that matter.

Bryan,

Yes and No.. it will get very "mad" at you if another script is calling something inside the player.cs file and then can't find it.. I removed it successfully from my project by changing my control object.. BUT you DO have to have a control object.. (unless something has changed that I am unaware of) so make sure you have one.. ie. if making a racing game that uses cars instead of people avatars just make your car the control object..

my control change..

function SpeedRacer::onAdd(%this,%obj)
{
	parent::onAdd(%this,%obj);
	%obj.mountImage(mgimage,0); //mount machinegun one
              %obj.mountImage(mg2image,1); //mount machinegun two
              %obj.setControlObject(SpeedRacer);       //added to set control object
}
