Taking coding-only requests (Requests closed, all queued items complete)!

A blockland cell phone (andoid) client gui or irc I guess

I actually came up with this up the top of my head, but now I do want it xD

That would be cool to have a cell phone gui, but then again it's like rtb with a cellphone ambient

...guis are created by code.

It's still extra. And that's not 100% true, anyway. I still have to check the GUI, tweak it, repeat. It's not truly just coding, even if that's all I'm technically doing.

Not to mention the fact that I haven't touched TCP or GUIs in Torque yet. I'd prefer to learn about them first before I take suggestions involving them.

Seems like lots of people are interested in it being made, but no one is interested in making it.

Ok, if no one's done it by the time I finish the two in queue, I'll consider it. For now, I'm closing suggestions until those two (and one by my brother) are complete.

Hey, I would like to know where you learned to write TorqueScript. I've looked for tutorials, but they're sparse and documentation is... not great. I already know several other languages (Lua, Python, JS, Ruby, Java...), so I know the basics of a language, but I just can't find TS documentation.

i just start coding
if i need something i'll look at another addon that has it
examples are a great way to see how to do stuff

Nowhere. And everywhere. Once you know basic code construction principles, I believe it best to just learn as you code. If I have trouble, I ask here, use trace(1);, look at other addons, or do a site:garagegames.com whatever I'm having trouble with to figure it out.

Also dump is useful for learning about objects.

Just FYI, torque is really slow compared to some of those, maybe all of them - I don't know lua.

Start with the very basics, with little console commands to learn syntax and stuff. From there, I would recommend looking at addons and trying to make simple server commands (/commands) that message the player. From there I just started trying to recreate addons that other people made, and see how I did. From then on, everything else comes pretty easy.

Thank you!

Thank you!

No problem!

would it be possible or plausible to make this also check for what event mods are in use?

Yep. But if you want to track which mod the event is in, that's quite irksome.

I might expand this to have this functionality later. But that would be after I get the listing of actual brick add-ons working. Unless I just can't, in which case it'll most likely happen (it'd just be a modification of the current script).

Fastlex, your Vehicle Flip script is done, check the link in OP! Requests are closed for now, guys, as I have a couple other projects I want to get done at the moment. I might begin taking requests again at some point though. ;)
