TGEA Tutorial\Reference

by Khaled AlMoukhtar · in Torque Developer Network · 12/10/2007 (5:47 am) · 5 replies

Hi there

I intend to buy TGEA after I've seen all these features, but I can't find any Tutorial or Reference for it, I saw the TGE and it has some great tutorials and books but nothing for TGEA... am I right??

anyway If there is any thing can get me started I will appreciate it...

[I thought that I could start with TGE and then upgrade to TGEA but there is too much differents between the two]

sorry for my bad engilsh

and thanks in advance

There are few tutorials for TGEA. Alienforce converted the starter kits from TGE to TGEA. Also, the books for TGE are also mostly relevant to TGEA as well since the mission structure, networking, and TorqueScript language are the same.

I would strongly recommend starting with TGE and then transitioning to TGEA. Having a solid understanding of TGE will help you in understanding TGEA.

Most of the tutorials I've tried so far for TGE haven't worked, so good luck with that.

Start threads with the problems you're having and help may be recieved -- or answers could also possibly be found. Anything that is done in script in TGE can be done in TGEa and in Torque3D. Also, almost all of the resources can in turn be ported for use in the newer engines.

Do you recommend starting a thread that goes a little like..
