How to define a brand new object?

by Benton Lam · in Torque Game Engine · 09/09/2008 (1:15 pm) · 4 replies

This is totally a newbie question:

How do you define a brand new object? Something that doesn't depend on SimObject, etc...

I tried something like %var = new Object(); but torsion gives a parse error...

What kind of object are you trying to make?

%player = new Player() 
  {
    dataBlock = %body_type;
    client = %this;
  };

%this.camera = new AdvancedCamera() 
   {
      dataBlock = AdvCameraData;
   };

You can setup new datablocks like this (usually in another .cs file)

datablock AdvancedCameraData(AdvCameraData)
{
    thirdPersonOffset = "0 -3 3";
};

What are you trying to do with it?

Also, a ScriptObject is a good general object type (although it may be a TGB only thing; you'll have to try it).
