Toruescript reference: why nonexistant?

by Andrew "Anger" · in Torque Game Engine · 11/22/2005 (1:18 am) · 5 replies

I did search in the forums, and found posts of people saying they can't find a list of all TorqueScript functions A-Z. Links provided by people in those posts are all dead: either give me a 404 or send me to the main page. As the problem seems to have persisted for years, my question is: why? With an engine this big, I wonder how GarageGames maintains it without a comprehensive list of every function, variable and constant...

I would like an online reference for all the functions and their usage. The book 3D Programming all in One has a nice reference for it, but GG should have a better one since it's their code.

I did find this which claims to have an entire listing.

Lists of TorqueScript functions and classes can be generated using the Console Auto-Documentation.

Plus some nice guy compiled this into help file format:

Dirk has posted a link to the single best script ref to be had IMO - it's quick and installed locally, searchable, etc.

Do yourself a favor, D/L it and put a shortcut on your desktop, you'll be using the h3ll out of it.

Well the links in the main Torque page are broken, but they do still exist. A closer look at the urls they are pointing to (or a simple search) would make you realise where they are.

Anyway, just to ease your burden:

TGE Console Commands Overview by Ron Yacketta

TorqueScript Language Reference by Joel Baxter

Also check the Script Calling resource by Melv May if you're struggling to get your head around things.

I also have that TGE_Console_Cmds.rtf that was 404ing on you. I've temporarily uploaded it for you here with a couple of additional references (I've forgotten who made them unfortunately).
