GPGT Chapter 17 - Issues and Questions

by Neal Nellans · in Torque Game Engine · 11/16/2006 (12:19 am) · 3 replies

I'm having some problems with C.17 of the mazerunner.pdf section of the cd.

C.17.1 Copy required files appear to be a typo-
"\MazeRunner\Lesson_012\teleporter.cs"
should be
"\MazeRunner\Lesson_017\levelloader.cs"

although when I make the additions/corrections as suggested in chapter 17 and then type "buildLevel(0)" in the console I recieve this error:

prototype/server/scripts/MazeRunner/levelloader.cs (456): Unable to find objects: ' ' attempting to call function 'setTransform'
prototype/server/scripts/MazeRunner/levelloader.cs (458): Unable to find objects: ' ' attempting to call function 'schedule'
prototype/server/scripts/MazeRunner/levelloader.cs (459): Unable to find objects: ' ' attempting to call function 'schedule'

I am not sure but i think you have a null string in you level file level0.txt or there is a problem with some datablock. or try recompiling all the scripts.

I have not edited the level file from what was supplied on the enclosed CD. I have not been instructed on how to recompile the scripts or the purpose of doing so. Can you explain to me in more detail what you are suggesting I do?

@Neal,

Hi. Appendix C (which you're refering to as chapter 17) has been superceded by a set of simplified instructions. These instructions are included in Appendix E which can be downloaded from my support site.

Please give the new appendix a try and I believe you'll be in good shape. Also, please check out the Errata docs on my site.
