Need help with multiplayer

by Alexander B · in Torque Game Engine · 05/16/2008 (5:25 am) · 4 replies

I want to know how to add multiplayer. Before you say "Just click the host multiplayer box" or "It comes with multiplayer" I already know that.

What happened was i made a game. I made a simple GUI for it. Just a start game, options and an exit button.

When i click start game it just takes me to the game. There is no host multiplayer box. So can someone please tell me how to put in a multiplayer button so me and my friends can play together. Also can someone tell me how to add a chat box.

Thanks in advance.

The demo game that comes with Torque has all of that already in it. Just copy what you need.

There really is nothing other to tell you other than, it comes with it. You may need to set it up to work with your GUI so that it works how you want, you could even modify it can silently connect with a server set up through an IP to avoid letting people create their own servers and things of that nature. But there is no sense in reinventing the wheel. I'd suggest copying over what is apparent and then checking your console when you attempt to call these functions to see what you might have missed. Sorry if that wasn't what you wanted to hear.

My suggestion would be to take the game demo (which HAS the multiplayer feature) and remove everything else, rather than trying to start from scratch.

Sometimes its easier to learn by working backwards rather than forwards.

Good luck!
