Getting started tutorial score counter help...

by Dave Pare · in Torque Game Engine · 05/27/2006 (5:40 pm) · 7 replies

Ok let me first say i know this is in this forum for sure but i haven't been able to find it. I did the initial tutorial without issue until playtesting. The score counter is showing but doesn't count. Is there a certain spacing required between code ?

I am a newb but i have accomplished other tutorials back with 1.3 including the irc lobby. This has me stumped any idea's ?

    Hmm maybe i should add these following lines

    Mapping String: SetScoreCounter: to index 12
    clientCmdSetScoreCounter: unknown command.
    Mapping String: ShowVictory: to index 13
    clientCmdShowVictory: unknown command.

    BTW again this is the tutorial sent with the engine.

    I think logos refers to a SimGroup which contains all the logos, do you have a simgroup called logos?

    Hmm good point i think i may have made the group name logo instead of logos. I'll try it and report back.

    Ok i did see how one part went wrong in the code. It looks as if when copy and pasting code from the tutorial breaks the positioning of some code.
    The problem i have is with clientGame.cs

    code in tutorial was like this


    function clientCmdSetScoreCounter(%score)
    { ScoreCounter.setText("Score:" SPC %
    score);
    }

    function clientCmdShowVictory(%score)
    { MessageBoxYesNo("You Win!",
    "Would you like to restart the game ?",
    "loadMyMission();",
    "quit();");
    }

    i changed this and got a lill farther in the console but not all the way yet.


    function clientCmdSetScoreCounter(%score)
    { ScoreCounter.setText("Score:" SPC %score);
    }

    function clientCmdShowVictory(%score)
    { MessageBoxYesNo("You Win!",
    "Would you like to restart the game ?",
    "loadMyMission();",
    "quit();");
    }

    anybody see my problem ? I'm new yes but this is 3rd time i play with torque and believe me i see it more clearly now. Just a lil help from you guys now would be awsome Thanks.

    Ok i figured out my prob. i didn't format my code like the pdf.
    make sure to use the spacebar to make the code look exactly as the pdf after you copy and paste. heehewe
