Level Swapping

by Brown College (#0059) · in Torque Game Builder · 03/24/2008 (7:35 am) · 2 replies

I am in the middle of creating my first interactive piece, and I'm trying to get it so that I can swap between various levels. I have multiple scenes, each one has it's own unique name, and the game is not following conventional genres (i.e. platformers, side scrollers). I need help with this, and considering I know next to nothing on scripting, that doesn't help, either. Any help would be appreciated.

"Interactive piece"? "swap levels"? I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to do, but if its as simple as "level 1 is finished, load level 2", you want to do something like:

sceneWindow2D.getSceneGraph().loadLevel( "filename" );

Look at your game/main.cs and gamescripts/game.cs to see how it is loading the "default level" eg. the last level you worked on in the editor.

If you have a player or some objects you want to persist between levels, you can mark them as "persistant".

Part 5 of my tutorial series covers loading various levels/scenes from a central menu area, and each level can be completely unique. Part 5 isn't live yet, but will be in a few days. You can certainly start with Part 1 now, though. I recommend it as a way to get a firm grasp on creating with TGB.
