Loading different things based on the mission

by Nmuta Jones · in Torque Game Engine · 07/19/2008 (7:05 am) · 3 replies

I am doing cyclegame() to cycle from one mission to another.

When I load a new mission, and it's .mis file, etc. I need the game to load certain enemies BASED on the mission.

How do you load certain .dts files, etc. all based on WHICH mission is currently active? this means I also need to unload and delete all previous .dts files based on the previous mission.

thanks.

The answer you are searching for would be too long winded to explain on the forum. Ed Maurinas first book "GPGT" makes a game with all it's content generated by mission type, and all from a set of text files. If you study that book, you will have your answers.

OK, great. I had already planned to use text files for simple user and mission management. I am getting the book. After looking through it on Google books I can see it's exactly what I need. more comprehensive and useful than game programming all in one.

GPGT + AGPAI are a really awesome combo!
