I currently have the Torque binary version. Going to get the full version soon.

Yes, I'm making a TRTS - Tactical Real Time Strategy Game :)

you can use '$camera::movementspeed' variable in script.

but, this variable can use singleplay..

Here is the documentation about cameras and here is the docu about making a basic rts-game.

This is all from the original Torque documentation under scripting/advanced/.
