Please reccomend good resources for learning Torque Scripting :D

by Daniel Kashtan · in Torque Game Builder · 02/11/2007 (11:50 am) · 2 replies

I've gone through some tutorials for Torque Scripting, but are there any really good references or books for Torque Scripting? Is there an API for Torque Script? Also any references about moving from scripting to C++ and its signifigance would be appreciated.

One last thing, can Flash be used for making menus or are there any good GUI tutorials, I haven't found any that I like or find very informative....

@Daniel, there are three books in the GG Store which teach TorqueScript, though they focus primarily on TGE ... but TorqueScript is just that, TorqueScript ... the major differences between TGE and TGB in regards to TorqueScript is the objects you work with ... which the only real way to learn them is by researching them using the TGB Reference ...

As far as an all purpose, "free", resource to learning TorqueScript, the best I can say is ... read the tutorials, go through the TDN if you have access to it, and ask questions in the forums when you have them ...

For what it is worth to you, I have created the following: Gui Learning Project. I would characterize it as beyond Beginner in level, but it tries to do a complete and competent job of showing how to work with particular Gui elements.

The most complete reference to the Gui classes is, so far, amaranthias TGB_GUI_Overview.

As far as operating instructions for the Gui Editor of TGB, aside from the tutorials, there is nothing. No manual. Too bad, too because there are a whole lot of gotchas in there.

For reference, the TGB Reference is "the complete script reference to TGB". Both the Gui Overview and the TGB Reference are on TDN, which is not accessible to users of the demo, which is a shame.
