Colission issues on basic tutorial

by Alec Stamos · in Torque Game Builder · 02/22/2006 (6:11 pm) · 6 replies

I am new to using Torque 2d and have been going through the basic tutorial.pdf file. When it came to the section on collision detection, I entered in the code exactly as it was written in the tutorial and then ran the game. None of the collision worked. Everything just went through everything. I then treid deleting the code I entered and tried copying and pasting the code directly in and it still did not work. If I could get any help, it would be appreceated.

Did you get any errors in your console.log file? If you did, post them up and someone will probably be able to get you sorted.

I just went thru that this past weekend. its now SetGraphGroup, instead of SetGroup. The tutorial has not been updated.

Thank you, that worked. The collision is working now.

Is there an errata page that people who are using T2D could use to check out redundant code in tutorials. I just spent a couple of hours trying to figure out what I did wrong when all the time it was the code I was supplied with that was incorrect. Swapping setGroup with setGraphGroup now works.

In your documentation/reference folder, check out the change log.pdf. The change from setGroup to setGraphGroup is #7 for the beta 1.1 changes.
