Learning TorqueScript
by Ivan Lazarte · in Torque Game Engine · 10/02/2005 (10:43 pm) · 14 replies
I'm running through the TGE script stuff, and I'm basically pasting stuff into the console.
Is there a way to execute a torquecript file instead?
I thought maybe something existed to hte effect of
$floc = "C:\Documents And Settings\......\torquetests.cs";
exec ( $floc );
Anyone have any tips for time saving learning methods?

"C:\Torque\SDK\example\torqueDemo.exe -game starter.fps"
is how it starts up,
and i run this command,
exec ( "./scripts/various_tests.cs" );
and it says missing file...
file lives at:
C:\Torque\SDK\example\scripts\various_tests.cs
what's wrong?

Try ommiting the period in front of /scripts.

You can also look in the console log file to see if any error messages are popping up.

You know, I had the same problem if I tried to run a script from the root directory. Once I put the script into a subfolder, then it worked. I've never figured that one out.

proof i'm not insane!
executable is being started with:
C:\Torque\SDK\example\torqueDemo.exe -game starter.fps
is there a "current working directory" command to see if the system is
confused somehow?

Scripts and other resources aren't available unless they're in a directory that's included in either a -mod or -game directive... see the ResourceManager source as to why that's the case.

Try adding -mod scripts to your command line and add a main.cs to your scripts directory.Scripts and other resources aren't available unless they're in a directory that's included in either a -mod or -game directive... see the ResourceManager source as to why that's the case.

The Torque community won't let you fail... which is why it's the best Indie solution around... No way you'd get technical support from Unreal at this time of night :P
Sorry... I took a nap. :P
