Does Torque support C style comments? /*comment*/

#1 No, it doesnt... but you can use JEdit/TIDE which has a "Toggle line comments" feature (mark the lines you want to comment and hit a button/menu entry/shortcut)

#2 No, there's no /* */ comments. You can use if(0) { } if its code you want to comment out. Some programmer's editors also support the marking of a block and pressing a button to comment out with //, you could find one and use that.

Alternatively, you could add /* */ support to the engine. In theory (e.g. I havent looked) it should be quite simple.

Pretty slick, thanks!

#4 Personly I don't like JEDIT. I think it would be best to add it to the engine. I am not an expert in C++ so if anyone has done if they could tell me I would apriciate it.

#5 If (0) {}?


oh ok i get it nevermind

#6 No worries. if(0) {} is one of those things that are glaringly obvious once its pointed out to you. I cant remember who mentioned it before, now.

#7 Tom : Hmmm, any number of people who've left their mark in the C++ code of TGE maybe ? :)
(TGE use to and probably still has a few code blocks commented out that way, ie #if 0 #endif)

#8 Nic: Maybe. I think it was either Matt or Ben, not sure. I use #if 0 sometimes in C & C++, but it never occured to me to use it in script til it was pointed out to me.

Sorry about the game the other day btw, my server went down just as i was about to upload. Got it uploaded elsewhere, but since the server was down no mail got out til the day after and I hadnt realised. I think I'll try and plan more in advance next time :)

#9 Alright Block Comments! Whoorah! That would explain a few errors...
