LightMaleHumanArmor where

by Duncan Perham · in Torque Game Engine · 11/14/2005 (2:40 pm) · 4 replies

I have just installed a clean up to date torque engine, did nothing except coppied in aiguard.cs (from the book A3dgpai1) followed chapter 7 word for word, but the engine crashes when it runs. I have identified the problem as

datablock PlayerData(AIGuardDB : LightMaleHumanArmor)
{
className = "NPC";
maxInv[CrossbowAmmo] = 500000;
};

'LightMaleHumanArmor' does not exist anywhere, i have all cs files loaded into my compiler, i opened them all and searched, that class does not exist. if i change LightMaleHumanArmor to somthing else the game runs but obviously does not work right.

Can someone tell me where it is defined. Or if the book (i only just got it a few days ago) is out of date, where is the up to date aiguard.cs
thanks

I 'think' that the namespace NPC is being used to reference the datablock[which is the part that doesn't exist], try renaming it to Armor?? and trying again.

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunatly that didnt work ,(presuming i did it right). I found the console file, the last record info before it crashed was

Loading compiled script starter.fps/server/scripts/aiGuard.cs.
starter.fps/server/scripts/aiGuard.cs (0): Unable to find parent object LightMaleHumanArmor for PlayerData. I have seen 'LightMaleHumanArmor' refrenced several times. but it does not appear to be loaded or in the torque download.

Lightmalehumanarmor is an old playerdata now it is playerbody so it should look like this
datablock PlayerData(AIGuardDB : PlayerBody)
