Whack a Mole datablock error

by Richard Van Stone · in Torque Game Builder · 08/01/2006 (10:25 am) · 1 replies

I don't know if I've entered in something incorrectly but I'm not sure what's going on here.

I created a datablock for the moles and then went into TGB and set the datablock to the appropriate selection, then went back and imported 8 mole hills to set them as spawnpoints. I then saved my project and reloaded. When I did this the molehills were now half the size I originally set them, no longer connected to the spawnpoint datablock which was odd. In addition to that on reload the datablock does not exist anylonger. However, if I hit f5 to start the game, then stop it the datablock exists. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

Rich, Load your respawnPoint.cs outside of your functions. Otherwise the editor won't execute it and it won't be read to apply to your hills. See example below (game.cs).

exec("./respawnPoint.cs");

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// startGame
// All game logic should be set up here. This will be called by the level builder when you
// select "Run Game" or by the startup process of your game to load the first level.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function startGame(%level)
{
   $levelForRestart = %level;
   
   //exec game scripts
   exec("./mole.cs");
   exec("./moleLevel.cs");
