Single Player First Person Shooters

by Niall · in Torque Game Engine · 11/12/2002 (10:54 am) · 6 replies

Right, I think that I might go ahead and buy Torque...BUT...

1. I'm still worries that a single player First Person Shooter will be extremely hard to make - and I'm not talkin about models, textures or sound. Just how easy will it be to make in Torque?

Thanks!

Considering that Torque comes pre-packaged with a mod called "fps", what do you think? ;-)

Thanks for the reply!

1. And it's a single player MOD, not a multiplayer one?

2. Does it include indoor areas? Lots of what I've seen has all been outdoor terrain!

3. What about AI for enemies?

Thanks in advance!

1) What's the difference between a single player game and a multiplayer game with one player connected? Not a lot.

2) Indoor areas are easy. Just place a building and don't allow a way outside.

3) AI in torque is pretty close to zero. You can place bots and get them to run to a location with a little effort. Anything more complex (esp. decent pathfinding) you'll be doing yourself.

So in your opinion...
Should I go buy it then?!

Thanks :-)

I'd recommend downloading Realm Wars, first, and then if you like what you see, license it.

Since RW is also an FPS, and has some small basic buildings, it should give you a good feel for the engine.

Yeah I have the RW demo! God it's so damn easy to edit the terrain and then (re)texture it! And it looks damn good too!
I have Tribal IDE but I honestly don't know what scripts I should go experimenting with. What should a learner actually edit and alter?

Thanx :-)
