GUI Editor help - Torque 2D

by Hadas Noam · in Torque Developer Network · 01/25/2011 (7:29 am) · 5 replies

Hello,

I'm new to Torque and I am much impressed by its capabilities so far but... I've been searching all over the place for any guidance to using the GUI editor, but all the information in TDN is outdated and unusable. What I specifically need is interface for a 2D melee style game, with animated health and energy charge and abilities on timers, etc. Could anyone please hint in the right direction?

Thanks a bunch!

Hadas

[Edit] I just installed my TGB pro.
After installation you should see your browser open, it will be FireFox or Internet Explorer and in the window you'll be looking at the Documentation. Under Reference > Common Directory > GUI Folder
Clicking on the "GUI Folder" hyperlink will present you with:
Quote:gui Folder
This folder contains standard Torque Game Builder GUIs that are used by most games. It also contains script files and a folder of images that are used by those GUIs. The .gui files in this folder have fairly self-explanatory names, and can be examined from the GUI editor. It is highly recommended that you make backup copies of any GUIs you edit.

and the basic information you need to get you started is there.
It describes various things about the GUI and files that you can modify to achieve the results your looking for.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the effort Scott!
Those files I've seen before but was still unable to know where to start... but after much research I've found details in the book "The game programmer's guide to Torque", and some very good tutorials.
