Few questions

by Dewkl · in Torque Developer Network · 05/17/2009 (6:38 am) · 2 replies

I've downloaded the evaluation of TBG 2D, and I have some questions:

1. Is it possible to give global variables to objects? Let's say if I want to make the G-button make 3 different objects in the same group disabled or transparent when pressed.
2. Do I need the TGB 2D Platformer kit to do this? I noticed it mentioned something about grouping/global variables.
3. If so, how do I install the addon? Just normal installation, no activation or anything?

    You can put related objects into a SimSet and just walk through that in your key event for the key in question.

    Tools for manipulating SimSets can be found in TSTK.

    You can try to tie the visible property of a GUI control to a global variable (ie $visibilityVar), and then have the button toggle the value for it. Should work.

    TGB comes with global variable capability standard ;)

    No idea for my part, I never used it- but I have used global variables in TGB...
