Power Meter?

by Gonzo T. Clown · in Torque Game Engine · 12/20/2004 (11:25 pm) · 2 replies

Is anyone aware of a power meter resource like the meters you would use for a golf shot or a baseball swing where you click once to start and once to choose your power and then click again at the start for shot accuracy?

Even anything close would be great. My searches of the resources and forums does not go well.

TIA

Hey there Gonzo.
www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=24250 deals with timing things while holding down a mouse button. That seems like a good base on something along the same line.

It would probably be a matter of going though the gui files on the health meter and implementing something like in the post above.

Also there is a qui resource/forum post out there that talks about it. I had it in my shortcuts but I removed it. I think it actually may be in code snipets.

I know it's not much of a help. But maybe it will be

Thanks. I've already got an idea of how to do one in script, but was hoping for a C++ solution with artwork like a resource has. Mainly for reference, but if need be I guess I'll do one from scratch.

Thanks again.
