FPS+Raceing

by Alexey Menshikov · in Torque Game Engine · 11/15/2004 (12:16 am) · 3 replies

Hello,

Im looking on TSE as next developing platform.
Have a question: does it possible to mix engine packs like use FPS as main, and the switch to racing to drive some vehicle and than get back to FPS shooter?

Also i have a question about OSX - i got silence during demo playing, openAL installed. Win32 version works fine, console.log seems without errors.

Cheers,
Alex

For your first question, yes this is easily possible.

No offense, but on the basis of this question it seems to me you have little understanding as to exactly what Torque is and how it can be used. Torque is an engine, which when licensed you get the code to, allowing you to anything as long as you have the knowledge. TorqueScript is a scripting language interpretted by Torque that allows you to do various things as well, even make a complete game with it (even outside of the FPS genre).

I recommend you pick up 3D Programming All In One by Ken Finney. It's a great book, and you'll learn how to do exactly what you are asking about without having to purchase the packs - you'll learn all the necessary code yourself.

Wrong. I fully understand what TSE does and question was about does it really powerful to allow that fast switch between main scripts. Now i see it is.
Anyway thanks for fast answer - that enough to got and order license :)

If you guys have PS2 port :D Im targeting winXP and OSX then.


PS. That OSX silence makes me mad. Just one more reason to hate OpenAL.

You don't need to switch the mod just to drive a vehicle. Just load the scripts in your fps mod...

If I haven't understood your question, forget this post :)
