Beginners?. Also a Bug-Free and Free ide, I tried torque dev. it had a lot of bugs
and unable to buy torison (I am a teen and doesn't have a credit card or paypal).

You need to go through this tutorial first.
http://www.garagegames.com/products/torque-3d/fps#/1-setup/1

That is a good beginner guide.

When you have done that one do this tutorial:
http://www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/21604

Also other editors can be used but Torsion is really the best.

See this IDE here:
https://www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/21498

It has the Komodo Edit IDE. You can use that one for free but you will then need to save your scripts and then run the release or debug in Visual Studio to see any changes in your scripts as you work. Follow the treads guiding and should have a fine tool. However, if possible I really recommend Torsion. It has some really nice features.

Happy Torque developing :O)

It has :O)

We just call them for resources after you have done the two tutorials :O)

Check out all the resources Steve Acaster made. Those are really good. Stuff for customizing weapons and making melee combat or a simple nasty cool turn based prototype, energy rifles, save your game(all for free here... In UE4 such a Blueprint knowledge would cost money ;O) ) etc.

Here you go 52 awesome resources. Gp them all through and you will realize how fun T3D is.

How can use function in Torquescript like i do in Unity C# ?. Is only OOPLs can use functions?.

I need to call funtion that changes the GUI image by an int '%' in torque script.

Here is the c# code (not a real code, just a sample)
// the image object.
public void ChangeImage(int id)
{
   if(id == 1)
   {
      display.imageLocation = "a.png";
   }

   if(id == 2)
   {
      display.imageLocation = "b.png";
   }
}

// input script
if(GetKey(Key_A))
{
   image.ChangeImage(1);
}
if(GetKey(Key_B))
{
   image.ChangeImage(2);
}

can you translate it to torquescript?.

Edit: i found torque script have funtion

You can download the documentation for TS here:
TorqueScript Reference Manual

That doc is a GREAT help and will end up being your friend.

Another TorqueScript IDE(I have not tried that one myself so use it at your own risk etc.):
Torque Integrated Development Environment (TIDE)
