Do I need the engine to map for Torque? Or can I make a map w/o having the engine?

Thanks! hopefully it's the last stupid question I'll place.

No, you can create maps with just the demo. load an existing map and push f11.

have fun exploring. :)

Thanks Adam,

Another one (sorry): Is it possible to build a mission where I switch between my player and the car? Probably thru triggers...

Thanks for the patience...

The short answer is yes. The long answer is get this book , it will answer all of your questions. The last half of the book is a scripted demo which has, among other things, the player switching between FPS and vehicles.

No...Epic is very protective of UnrealEd and will not allow it to be used for a non-Unreal Engine game.

...and Unreal is not a free engine, right?

Well, free and free ... you could always download a binary copy of the engine if you promise not to use it for anything that is either game or commercial ...

All big-time players are really (up)tight about how us industry-midgets use their middle-ware, even Hammer have a very restrictive licens.
