Multiple Players

by Kayley · in Torque Game Engine · 01/28/2005 (7:03 am) · 4 replies

Does anyone know how to load multiple avatars within a game?

Ie - Over a network, different users can load in different avatars (eg. female avatar, orc, male avatar etc) depending of their preference....

Thanks!

This is not something you just can ask for, how it's done.. because it depends on your game and is almost always different from one game to another. There is no "general" way of doing it, you just have to come up with it yourself. Use simple scripts to change the models depending on what the user presses in the GUI, for instance.

Kayley.

Take a look at the Game beavers code... the GB game allows you to pick a male or female char from the GUI (might be a good starting point)

Yes.. sorry... what I really meant was..

which scripts do I have to change so that I can change the models...

I tried to replace the character model on one of the machines (and hoped that over the network the result would be that one was male and one was female) but it didn't turn out that way :( On screen, both were females or males.

@Joseph: there is so much code on Game Beavers... is there a specific code source/link you can recommend?

Thanks!
