Good Tutorial for TGEA
by Nesh108 · in Torque Developer Network · 01/24/2010 (12:16 am) · 13 replies
Hello guys,
I've been looking for a cool tutorial for TGEA, and the only 1 serious was 6 lesson long.
I would like something more complete, that touches a lot of aspects ( gui, mission features).
I gave a look on gamegarage, but it really sucks.
I thought there were more tutorial, but a lot of pages are incomplete or empty.
I have experience with DirectX, OpenGL, and a lot of programming languages and 3D graphic.
Now my next step is a game Engine, Torque seems pretty cool but I couldnt find any good tutorial (good and complete).
Can someone help me?
Thanks

You're welcome. They are for tge, but are still valuable for learning torque script and the way the engine works.

Back in November TGE and TGEA were discontinued as products in our store. The two books Mike linked are excellent books and much of the information in them can be applied to even Torque 3D. The books deal entirely in TorqueScript which has changed very little over the years.
For Torque 3D there is quite a bit of documentation and some tutorials on scripting, with many more on the way shortly.

Is there a way to get the 'Lesson Kit' of Game Programmer's Guide to Torque?
A friend of mine has the book but he lost, -.-, it.
I think he lost it, because in the book there are a lot of reference to external sources, but I can't find anything. I asked to the guy and he told me that everything he still has is there.

The book seems so cool, and I've been soo lucky to find out that my friend already bought it (he never told me, grrr) but I dont want to buy the book only for the CD/DVD.
Regards

No. The version of the engine that was included with the book was a special build meant just for that. The only way to get it is to buy the book.

No way to find the files contained on the CD online?
I think it would be pretty bad to be necessary to buy again a book only for a CD

Ok, let me rephrase that. The only way for you to obtain it is to order the book. If your friend needs to replace his disc there are methods to do so available by contacting support.

If my last post came off like I was annoyed, and rereading I can see how it could be, it's because I was and I think a little of that bleed over while I was typing. I was dealing with a particularly irritating tech support person for something else (not Torque related) at the time. Sorry about that.

Thanks, and I will try to find another way.
Because I found a way to not buy the book, for now (too expensive for my poor pockets), and then I find out that, if I want to read it, I NEED the cd... wtf :(
Btw, have a good night ( I think u have, more or less, my same time)
Cheers, and burn the irritating tech support person three times (2 for u, and 1 for me) :)
