Plastic Gem #22: Get Jetting

Plastic Gem # 22 : Get Jetting

Difficulty: Easy

Once I finally figured out what the next set of gems are about, I realized there is a problem. I need to ensure everyone has the "jetting" ability. (a backpack jet that flies the player around). TGEA has the "jetting" code already in the demo program, and for TGE there is already a resource on doing that which still seems to work. Wait that's not a problem. This gem is gonna be easy!

If you are using TGEA

If you are using Torque Advanced then you are set! Jetting is already in the codebase and it is bound to the right mouse button already.

If you are using TGE

Then follow this very fine resource to Get Jetting. The advice contained here still seems to work for us. If anyone has any issues let us know.

The Next Gem

Boy this gem was easy! Next gem we will show how to place a GUI control that shows your current amount of energy. As you jet around you will see your energy deplete on this GUI. This is another versy simple gem...but stick with us. This is going somehwere. The next string of gems will show how to put together much of what we have learned.
