#3 Thanks erick and Michael,

So Michael, After including the needed files I create and build a mission through the demo program, transfer the files over and then write the scripts to make it run? Or is that what the creatopr is for?

Essentially, yes.

If you're learning you would probably want to use a starter kit example as a template to get started, the Editor does not give you any means of writing or modifying scripts. You build your mission inside of this new project (in the editor)... and you would then modify the scripts to enhance or obtain the functionality you need for your game. If you use a unique name for you project's folder (instead of starter.fps, for example) you would have to make sure that certain of the scripts also reflect this different name in some of the filepaths for used assets (most notable being particles and sgExample.cs).

Once you understand more about Torque in general and are more comfortable about scripting you could use your own setup/structure for your game. You could even do away with the common scripts at such a time, but until then they do provide a useful bare minimum of code that is practically necessary for all Torque games.

#6 AWESOME! Thank you so much Michael,

You were a great help. =-)
