Races, classes, player

by Xavier "eXoDuS" Amado · in Torque Game Engine · 12/23/2001 (1:24 pm) · 2 replies

I was looking at the player code, in clientconnection and i saw this 3 lines which made me thought of a good idea:
%client.gender = "Male";
%client.armor = "Light";
%client.race = "Human";
is it possible to implement this system? to change the races, etc from a gui and create the player depending on what you choose?
That would be nice...

Yes, it should be possible. It is how Tribes 2 worked. You had humans and BioDerms and male and female humans of various sizes. In fact, I was counting on this fact when I purchased the package. You do select your race when you begin the game, but I think - (I haven't tested this yet,) it might be possible to change race, gender, etc in game if you carefully reloaded your player. Of course the Tribes 2 code for race, gender etc. was taken out but the game was designed to support it, so it shouldn't be difficult to put it back.

Yes, it's possible. This is what we're doing in our game. It works well too. It's pretty easy to do.
