I know that TorqueScript is based off of C++ language. But is it possible to use C++ instead? Here's an example:
Almost everyone knows of the famous "Hello world!" script. So, in TorqueScript you use the following line:
Can I do this instead?

echo ("blah blah blah"); Ok so it's not exactly that way you type it but you get the point.Can I do this instead?
cout << "Blah blah blah";or do I need to use the other one?

What the??? What are you saying? I'm just asking for a yes or no answer. What does that mean?

Without owning Torque the answer is no.

As a result I will answer a couple of different question in hopes that one was what you were asking.
#1 - Can I use straight C++ in the Torque Script Files (CS) instead of TorqueScript syntax?
Answer = Not out of the box. Sure you could but it would involve re-writing the TorqueScript to be C++ compliant. A waste of time in my mind. TorqueScript only has "C like" syntax. It is not a stripped down version of a C compiler.
#2 - Can I skip using TorqueScript files (.cs) and just code everything in the Engine?
Answer - Yes - But would you want to?
There have been several threads on this already. For example Topic: If I don't use script...
Also further question regarding the Engine Source should be placed in the Private SDK forums.

When asking "can I?" if you have the source the answer is always "Yes" or "If your talents allows." As far as the particular question you are asking, I am not sure what you are really asking. Its not very clear in my mind.As a result I will answer a couple of different question in hopes that one was what you were asking.

He's just asking if it's possible to script in c++ instead of torque script (i wouldn't).

If you're using C++ with the engine, you're not really scripting...unless you write your own c++ compiler for C++ scripts. Which would be like Quake-C but not as intuitive.

No, you can't use C++.

Ok thread closed last week. 
Torque Owner Shaderman
Stdlib like string formatting is supported (%d, %s, %x...).
