datablocks; setting up player stats
by rennie moffat · in Torque Game Builder · 08/12/2009 (10:32 am) · 2 replies
If I want to pre set up all relevant info for a hero/player I believe I can do so in a datablock. His size, speed etc, all can be pre set up in there.
What I am wondering is it worth, should I set one up, and where? In the player.cs or a datablock.cs which holds all datablocks, oR. should I just determine that stuff inside the TGB console itself?

You could use a datablock to define your heroes stats but if you only have one hero it would probably be just as easy to set those values in script.
let's say you had a horde of goblins that spawned 1 at a time with the same image and base stats. you could define a datablock for their settings and set the spawner to create goblins with that datablock and they'd all have the same settings that way without having to define each one. that's where a datablock is really helpful.
I'm still a novice at all this, so hopefully I explained it well. And hopefully I'm correct ^^
