TGE gettingStarted FAQ Wiki?
by Infinitum3D · in Torque Game Engine · 10/27/2008 (6:27 am) · 2 replies
I did a search and checked the TDN, but I couldn't find a Wiki or FAQ document for the total Newbie. Is there one?
It seems like the same questions pop up every month, so to help the beginner, I'd like to start a Frequently Asked Questions thread. Sometimes these get "pinned" to the top of a forum.
Q?
"I just downloaded Torque. Now what?"
Answer:
Go into the C:\Torque\example folder and read the GettingStarted.pdf.
Q?
"How do I use the Starter.FPS?"
Answer:
Open example\main.cs and change the line from
$defaultGame = "tutorial.base";
to
$defaultGame = "starter.FPS";
Q?
"How do I change the Name from Fresh Meat?"
Answer:
Open starter.FPS\client\default.cs and look for
$pref::Player::Name = "Fresh Meat";
Q?
"How do I limit the climb angle?" "...run speed?"
Answer:
Open server\scripts\player.cs and look for
// Controls over slope of runnable/jumpable surfaces
runSurfaceAngle = 70; //--This is your climbable angle
and/or
maxForwardSpeed = 14; //--This is your normal speed

Getting Started FAQ
We can create links from this page to go to a engine specific FAQs. I'm going to delete the current FAQs on GarageGames.com and replace them with whatever gets added to TDN.
I'll be sure to include that in my October Doc Wrap Up. Thanks for the reminder! =)
