Hey guys, just realized theres a package in the compiler folder named "TorqueScript for Xcode". What am i supposed to get when installing it?

I do not see this. What specific folder are you looking at? In my compilers folder I just have the four folders for Visual Studio and Xcode.

Hi Michael, look inside your Xcode folder (compilers->xcode). You will see a folder called Script Editing and inside it you will find the package.

I think that is for code coloring for TorqueScript in Xcode.

Ah. I see it now. I have never touched that file, so it is likely a remnant of Torque 2D. I highly doubt it will work for iTorque 2D, especially for Xcode 4.

I can see why Xcode 4 might make a difference, but if all it's doing is syntax coloring for TorqueScript, why wouldn't that work pretty much the same for any Torque engine version?

So, if it does not work on Xcode 4, what options do i have to edit torquescript on a Mac besides xcode?

Gustavo,

I simply have a second installation XCode 3.6 that I use for Torquescript.

You can also install it onto removable media as well if you work between different machines.

If you do wish to install it onto removable media you must custom install, deselect the command line portion of the installation and then go back to drive selection.

The other thing I noticed was that the compiling of 400+ files stops when XCode is installed onto a removable drive. Not sure why this is, however testing is so much simpler when you only have to copy a script file rather than compiling the whole engine.

Gustavo,

happy to help. Having the syntax colouring makes a large difference to my coding processes.
