Author Topic: Tutor / Teacher?  (Read 699 times)

Hello Blockland Community!

I'm currently in the process of learning torquescript for the intention of creating mods. However, I absorb information easier with with an instructior of some kind. Normally, this would be my friend (A bad ass coder), but unfortunately, he is now only available for communications during the weekends. So, I'm looking for a replacement tutor / teacher.

If this is possible, & if anyone is willing to help me, that would be more then fantastic.

If anyone is interested in helping me on my quest, please contact me via a private message, or, leave contact information below.

I hope this is feasible, and to hear from you soon.

Please enjoy the rest of your day!



P.S - If this plead for assistance, is truly that ugh, feel free to comment negatively below.


It's better to use this forum as your "tutor" when you absolutely can't figure it out by yourself. Error finding and debugging skills are a big part of it and that's something that comes from finding them yourself more than being shown by someone else.

You totally remind me of myself. I did the exact same thing. Made overly grammatically correct requests for a teacher and etc. I suggest you try to figure it out yourself and when you need advising just make a topic here.

I suggest you try to figure it out yourself and when you need advising just use search to find related posts, and then make a topic here.

Making a topic should be the last thing you do, once all your other sources have been exhausted.

Here are some good resources to use:
Search - seriously, use it. 99% of questions have already been asked, and answered. And nobody is paid to be here and help you.
TorqueScript Quick References - This has basically all of the default functions in TorqueScript. Badspot has added many more, and removed some, but for general raw torquescript use, this is gold. (Ctrl+F is your friend)
Blockland Unofficial API documentation - A nice webpage made my someone in the community, it has most of the functions that the Quick References misses, and even covers the general structure of Blockland's classes, and files.
The official coding resource thread - This post has a ton of resources that people have written, typically small scripts that you can include, that will simplify some of the more complicated things you need to do.
TorqueScript For Blockland - A website made by elm which goes over several general programming concepts, as well as most of the concepts unique to TorqueScript, all laid out in a simple way, designed for new coders.
Coding Help - Yes the entire board. A great way to learn is just to read other peoples questions, and see how they're answered. However, only answer a question if you are pretty confident with the subject, a lot of people have given out wrong information which could cause a lot of confusion easily. Also check out all the stickied posts, they're there for a reason.
Modification Discussion - This board isn't directly for coding problems, but often you'll find useful concepts or even code snippets you can use. It also has a ton of models in it you can use if you need them.

You should bookmark each of these, so if you need them (you will) you can quickly find them.

When I can't find the answer with the Search function, I tend to make a Google Search with a site specified, e.g: "AIPlayer methods Site: blockland.us"
