I need help with some things

by Carter Patterson · in Torque Game Engine · 03/10/2009 (1:26 pm) · 3 replies

I need help with a few things in TGE and Blender.

TGE:

1: How do I make NPCs that will run around and shoot you if they see you

2: How do I add new weapons and player modules

Blender:

1: How do I texture objects

2: How do I make the first person view for fps games

Thanks.

About the author

I like to make levels for games, and I like to make games that I want to play. For me, game's aren't about having the greatest next gen graphics, it's about having fun, and I make sure all my work shows that. (of course good graphics never hurt :P )

I feel what you need is get use to the SEARCH feature, it will grow to be your best friend.

You might get a better response in the artists forum.

"TGE:

You should try running through the demos that come with Torque. I think both of theses topics are covered. If not, "see Caylo's response".

Carter,

This is a lot of stuff you are asking for, and the best I can do is point you in the right direction.

For Blender video tutorials the one that I used for learning are here www.blender.org/education-help/video-tutorials/

They are a bit old but they still work. You might want to youtube.com some blender tutorials, try "blender texture mapping", "blender UV Mapping"

Also the current blender to torque website is www.jsgreenawalt.com/


As for TGE question I don't know what level you are at when it comes to c++ programming or torque scripting, but I am assuming that you just recently got torque. Your best bet is to buy a book or four.

For complete beginners to torque and game programing I recommend www.amazon.com/Game-Programming-All-One-Second/dp/1598632663/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b its uses torque 1.4 I think, but its a good starting point, and progress nicely for people new to torque and programming.

But if you already know how to program then the books sold here www.garagegames.com/products/browse/books is a good place to start.
