Torquescript is stuff, which is why no one has it. You could learn JavaScript first from codeacademy, which is very similar in syntax.

The biggest and most complete guide to scripting in TorqueScript in the world is this Coding Help board. The topic BluetoothBoy posted should get you started, then feel free to use this forum as much as you want to get all the help you need. Just don't forget to use the search button before posting a topic, as I said this board contains the biggest repository of help regarding TorqueScript in existence already.

Another helpful tool is google. Search what you're looking for like this: "site:garagegames.com <insert query here>". This searches the garagegames website for your question, giving you a bunch of forum results and documentation. It has been really helpful to me in the past.

The reason why I kind of tell newcomers to steer away from this kind of stuff is that because while all the syntax and everything is the same, Blockland and Torque have diverged on a scripting level. For example, in Ultimax's tutorial, they use NetObjects as an example, which are not only unaccessable but nonexistant in Blockland.

Actually, that's the TGEA tutorial, which is why some things are different. We use TGE. http://docs.garagegames.com/tge/

In any case though, newcomers would be best off taking trinick's advice.

no... python is nowhere near javascript.

like... even remotely.

he's not even stuffting you. torque forums don't even really come close, most of their stuff is random stuff like torquedev and how to do lovey super loving complicated stuff like shaders.

you google something about torquestuff and you'll come up with the BLF every time.

i suppose you're right. i'd say learn the syntax, read iban's tutorial, learn about dump() and trace() (two very useful functions) and start experimenting with blockland.

...Except I do this successfully all the time, and have learned a lot about Blockland scripting via the Garage Games forums. Are you guys breaking Google or something?

I'm making a web page in JavaScript, and the syntax is very different.

Lol I actually think I found an error in the syntax chapter lol on Hello world

I'm making a web page in JavaScript, and the syntax is very different.

function bullstuff(%stuff) {}
VS
function bullstuff(stuff) {}
VS
def bullstuff(stuff):
(tabs and stuff here, no braces)

for(%i = 0; %i < assHattery; %i++) {}
VS
for(var I = 0; I < assHattery; I++) {}
VS
for I in range(0,assHattery):
(still more tabs and stuff)

TORQUE VS JAVASCRIPT VS PYTHON

Yes thank you, I win. The only difference in these examples between ts and js is
A: defining variables (var I) instead of just using them
B: no % sign

Yeah, not similar my ass
Please, prove me wrong, I've been saying that they're similar for months now, if I'm wrong I should know asap
