Torque Constructor is used for making interiors, which let you create maps like the Bedroom and Kitchen.

The Torque Game Engine costs USD$150. I really doubt you'd have bought it and spent that if you didn't know what it was for.

Unless you pirated it.

Modification Help / Re: In-Game Script Editor - Beta 3a Important Fix!

« on: November 29, 2008, 10:01:07 AM »

Useful, but I think I'm going to modify it heavily to suit my own needs.

Clearly we need an In-Game Script Editor Editor, for this purpose.

Anyway, this could use a "Refresh Datablocks" button. I believe there's a script (if it still works in v9/10) that lets you send updated datablocks to clients in the server, for anything except new models being added.

Ammo systems only really work if more than a few people adopt using its system. Rotondo's doesn't work too well because the hundred "machine guns" that exist all overwrite the fire system and so don't work with his mod.

Drama / "Badspot's V11 Beta Server"

The RTB 'Information' button says:
"Owner: MaXxUsS"

Protip: Badspot doesn't use RTB

Go change some stuff in the BIOS and see if you can fix it.

No. You'll have to code it.

I got that error a few times on Wednesday. It was a single player server (I'd been on it for a while without the error) and "could not verify that you are a real Blockland user" thing kept showing.

Well, he is a moderator. You made it sound like nobody else at all is there (active or not).

The forum could use a few more, though.

The way i see this working is Badspot would be forced to do more monitoring

Badspot would have to monitor everyone's posts for a certain time instead of just reacting to/deleting/moving posts reported. It'd be a lot of work when a system for reporting 'bad' posts already exists.

We need, like, one more mod.

Rotondo is already a moderator...?

How about, you link your account to a blockland id like RTB,

Several people have come to the forum to discuss buying the game. Discouraging people like this by forcing them to buy it before they can discuss whether they'd like it or if it's worth it isn't a good thing.

Water reflections only reflect the sky. They don't actually reflect players.

That box would be centred on the player's feet.

Code: [Select]

initContainerBoxSearch(%position, %boxSize, %mask);
while (%searchObj= containerSearchNext())
{
   //do stuff to %searchObj
}

Will a 'new' rocket launcher that fires lazors really add anything to the game?

Having a million generic machine guns and REALLY UBER EXPLOSIVE launchers makes the game slightly boring. Try to make original weapons and tools for things that haven't been done before.

Modification Help / Re: ID of List Option

« on: November 27, 2008, 03:14:07 PM »

Code: [Select]

switch(%input)
{
 case 0:
  //do stuff for 'Apple'
 case 1:
  //do stuff for 'Bird'
 case 2:
  //do stuff for 'Cat'
}

There's probably something you can do with the list of server output parameters (dump/export global variables) if you really want to extract the information like that, but a switch statement is usually easier.

Disable 'downed' when running a zombies game and wait for an update.
