Author Topic: [Resource] All Torque Appendixes (A, B, C, D) (Read 2278 times)

I recently found all of the Torque appendixes online. I'm not really sure how useful they are, but I thought I would post them here.

Appendix A - Quick References
Appendix B - GPGT Lesson Kit Docs
Appendix C - Combined Maze Runner Lessons
Appendix D - GPGT Lists

Keep in mind that some of these might be somewhat useless.

Appendix A is the only real useful one for me. Otherwise the Appendix B, C and D are stuff which help developers create their game.

Note that I cannot be arsed to look at Appendix B so I may be incorrect.

i think i found a typo in appendix A

Quote

for
Purpose
The for keyword is a looping construct whose general form is:
for ( expression0 ; expression1 ; expression2 )
{
statements(s);
}
� expression0 � usually of the form: variable = value
� expression1 � usually of the form: variable compare op value
� expression2 � usually of the form: variable op OR variable op value
The loop continues to execute statement(s) until expression0 evaluates to zero.
Note: expression0, expression1, and expression2 are all required. If you absolutely need
expression0 or expression2 to be empty just insert a 0.
Note2: Composite expressions of the form ( sub_expression0 , sub_expression1 , �
sub_expressionN ) are illegal.

they mean expression1 is 0, not expression0, right?

No, it looks correct.

but if you have
for(%i = 0; %i <= 5; %i++)echo(%i);
then it would never run, instead of echoing 0-5?
and for(%i = 5; %i >= 0; %i--)echo(%i);
would then run forever, echoing everything 5 and under

no
On the top one, %i would get to 5 and then stop
On the bottom one, %i would get to 0 and then stop

You're missing phflack's point. It says it will continue to evaluate until expression0 is 0. Phflack said it should be expression1.

Actually, after it gets to the appropriate trigger, expression2 is called one final time (this doesn't really pertain)

so code like this echos 0-5

Code: [Select]

for(%i=0;%i<=5;%i++)
    echo(%i);

while this code echos 0-6

Code: [Select]

for(%i=0;%i<=5;%i++)
    echo(%i);
echo(%i);

I was really only commenting on that specific post of phlack, didn't really read his first one. But now that I see it, yea, expression1 is the determining factor for ending the loop

Destiny/Zack0Wack0 · July 05, 2012, 09:33:21 PM

I meant, expression1, yeah. Fixed.
