Hidden Gems

by Guy Allard · in Torque 3D Professional · 03/19/2010 (3:10 am) · 6 replies

So, today I stumbled across the script operators foreach and foreach$, which I'm pretty sure did not exist in previous Torques. Really useful for iterating over simsets/groups or delimited strings.

Has anyone stumbled across any other ultra-useful stuff that has been added in T3D that people like me, who rarely read documentation, may have missed?

Another, reported also by Rene:

Quote:Yep, there's two operators there for looking up objects by their internal names. [...] This is a great feature that removes a lot of the need for globally naming your objects.
// Look up 'ChildObject' by internalName as direct child of %obj:
%obj->ChildObject;

// Recursively look up 'ChildObject' by internalName as direct or indirect child of %obj:
%obj-->ChildObject;
