Some questions

Hey. I just bought the Torque engine 1.5 and it's looking good.
Now I have some questions:
* Is it possible to create a chat system IG similar to the one in HL? Like pressing "y" and you can type to everyone and pressing "u" and you can type to your team and this text will then appear in a box at the lower edge of the screen or just as plain text with different colors for team or general chat. This would be used in a fps game with maybe 10 players.
* Also, is it possible to having teams (like red vs blue), so that a player that connects can choose which side to play on, and the team will then have to do certain things to win (like get to some point or kill all enemies).
* Is it possible to let the server keep track of all players scorings and display these for the player if he presses "x".
* Last set of questions is if it is possible to reward a player with "points" (not score) that he can use to buy eg. weapons.
Thanks in advice. Just want to be sure if these above things are doable before I start.

Press U for global chat... I think you add the team chat when you add teams to the game.
Yes, theres a few resources for adding team support, do a quick search for "teams" or something.
Edit: Teams Implementation Resource
I think you would need to look in to database stuff, but again... a quick search for "scores" or something like that should bring up a lot of sutff.
