Coding With Torque

Does the Torque engine feature any tutorials on scripting, or any built in coding programs, or is it all down externally with a compiler?

    I don't have Torque yet, but I believe there is a script compiler built-in to the engine.

    God I wish it was June. Then my gaming budget would be back...

    Torque has an EXCELLENT scripting engine; go look at any tribes1/2 scripting site for a great taste of what it can do (tribes2 being much more representative). You can do a whole lot of things via the scripting engine... Go look through the forums for details.

    (Scripts are "compiled" by the engine at runtime and cached into files; this reduces loading time for future runs and tends to make things more efficient.)

    Edit: As Jeff says, RealmWars is a great way to get your hands wet and see what Torque as it is now can do. I STRONGLY recommend you get that demo and start playing with it. (But still go check out those T2 scripting sites, they have some pretty cool examples of what's possible)

    Better yet. Download Realm Wars, our community project and Torque Demo. It has the same scripting language built in and it's free as well.
