Interface to external application

by Tom Lambert · in Torque Game Engine · 09/04/2002 (6:25 pm) · 2 replies

How would it be best done to control a player from an external applicaion perhaps running on the same machine? It seems to me that there would be numerous ways to go about this, but since I am very new to Torque, I am not sure what really would be the best approach. What I mean is how could an external application "play" a game/receive data as if it were a person playing. It is not something that I can do immediately, but something I want to be thinking about as I learn to use TGE.

Look at the 'journal' function in torque cc code. It may give you a hint.

Frank, do you know how this could be done and are just hinting to me, or was it just an idea? If you know, could you please be a little more specific as to what function in what file you are talking about and why? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
