Should I get Torsion?

#1 Try the demo! It's free for a while.

#2 Well, my first piece of advice is to stop using notepad immediately. Notepad has a tendency to add hidden garbage to files that completely and utterly breaks the script for compiling.

As for Torsion its well worth it. I used to use Codeweaver and then switched to Torsion roughly 4 months before it shipped and haven't looked back. Codeweaver is still a good choice too if you want something free, and there always Tribal. All three will work just fine for TGEA.

#3 I'm a huge fan of Torsion. If you are familiar and like working in a Visual Studio style development and debugging environment then Torsion will be instantly intuitive for you. It's the best debugger for TorqueScript that I've seen.

#4 Cool thanks guys, I will try the demo (doh at me!)

#5 Get it. Its a must have.

#6 Have to agree, at $40 it's really a no brainer. Precompiling of scripts to quickly catch syntax errors and the ability to debug scripts make it an invaluable tool.

#7 I agree. Torsion is a must have. If you are familiar with Visual Studio you will get up to speed very quickly.

#8 Tried the demo now, its very nice, just like VS, love it :)

cheers

#9 Stupid Question. Can we use torsion to compile TGEA game engine?

#10 @Joseph
Torsion is for torque script. You compile the engine with MSVC++.
