WAITING FOR SERVER forever in GameOne GettingStarted tutorial

by Matthew W · in Torque Game Engine · 11/18/2007 (8:08 pm) · 5 replies

Hi.

I'm going through the GettingStarted.pdf tutorial and need your help. On page 11 it tells me to restart torqueDemo and then the new GameOne gui screen will show up. That screen did show up and I clicked the start button and it pauses with a grey box with a button that says "WAITING FOR SERVER" - it doesn't do anything else. It is susposed to take me into the game after pressing start. Why doesn't it do this? Can you help? :)

I've run into this problem many times, Matthew! I found that the only real solution is tomake a new copy of "tutorial.base" and delete the old GameOne directory. Be sure and move any of your projects out of the example , GameOne directory and into a safe location before deleting it. Basically, you must start from scratch with your game directory. this is the only way I have found to correct the problem.

Check your spelling and the caps in the command section of your button.

That should read: Command = loadMyMission(); Note which letters are caps and don't forget the semicolin at the end. If it isn't right, it won't work.

I don't believe TorqueScript is case-sensitive, so which letters are cap shouldn't matter. But the spelling, (), and semicolon will.
