Launching Programs Through Code

by Quentin Headen · in Torque Game Engine · 07/28/2008 (12:56 am) · 2 replies

Hello everyone! I would like to know, what would I have to do to allow Torque to launch external software through code? My guess is that I would have to make a change to the game engine. So what should I do? For example, how can I launch something like notepad from TGE? Please let me know.

Thanks

P.S. What I really want to do is be able to launch TeamSpeak through code with TGE.

    You will need to make an engine modification, look at the Platform:: namespace, and google CreateProcess.
