Working in Console

by rennie moffat · in Torque Game Builder · 07/22/2009 (6:52 am) · 8 replies

Hi there,
I am just working in the TGB console and I was wondering, is there any easy way for me to move L R U D? The only way I can see, work in an area WayOffCenter, for instance x=1000, the only way I can get there is zoom out, but I cant zoom back in. Am I missing something?

Well, if you mean to move the player, you can try to get the shooterControls behavior from TDN.

If you mean the camera, then... I can't answer you, 'cause I don't know.

ah... you wanna move the camera while onto the Editor?... all you need to do is hold the right button of your mouse in the edition area, and move it to your desired position.

also, if you wanna zoom in or zoom out, you can use the scrool button of your mouse.

ok, Im on a mac tho, Im using the stupid mac mouse with only one button, Im still not sure why they do this.


So what should I do, is there a button, I tires, option, command, nothing, should I? Can I just buy a multi button mouse? should right?

you can also look into the TGB menu, theres an option to setup the controls there... i think its on preferences... you take a look at that, and find out how to doit on a mac.

I looked at that but no dice. real unfortunate they don't have a simple hand/glove grabber or the ability to scroll for the Mac. I hope a new mouse works.

Any USB mouse works. ANYTHING is better than Apple's mice :)

(Why do you think Macs are so quiet? It's because they're afraid of the evil Apple mouse! It eats your pets if they get too close!)

In case you didn't know, ctrl+left mousebutton is the same as a right-click on a Mac.
