Platform animation problem
by Tavershima Shande · in Torque Game Builder · 07/08/2006 (11:14 am) · 2 replies
HI all,
I'm an artist and I'm really new to coding, so far I have followed the fish tutorial and the scroller tutorial successfully but now I am trying to get my player (the mannequin)to animate while moving by following the steps in the platform tutorial but the instructions are not very clear, they assume that I know where to put some of the code samples. For example they ask me to add code to a createPlayer function but I can't find anywhere in the platformer tutorial that talks about making a createPlayer function. I almost feel as if I am missing the first part of the tutorial. Can anyone help me get my player animated? So far I can only move him around using the fish demo code. I would appreciate if someone could help me or point me to a more thorough tutorial, one that assumes I know nothing about coding.
Thanks for your time and consideration,

That makes sense. It's too bad though, I wish someone would make a complete basic tutorial and share some knowledge. I guess I just need to learn more about Torque script. I appreciate your response. I'll keep trying to wrap my head around the code and hopefully I'll be able to get my player animated while moving....it can't be that hard...right?
