Blockland coding language?

[adster]

Just a quick question, what language does blockland use for its scripts? I am a software developer looking to have a little fun in my free time.

Torquescript.

he's right!

[Kyuande]

Torkscript (some of us call it this) has a related syntax to Java and C#.

Also is there any free IDE I can use or would I need to buy the suggested one?

Buy?

Use Notepad++.

dont buy anything TGE is outdated and probably isn't worth coding in for anything other than BL.

just get a free text editor and use that. the IDE would only really help with syntax errors anyways, and i'm pretty sure a number of text editors have TGE packages available for download.

Here is a reference of invaluable engine functions and how to use them.

Also, you can call dump(); on any object to see all it's methods and values.
Do /getid to get an object id from what your camera is looking at in the world.
Use the trace(); function to see function stacks as they're called. I recommend doing this only in a completely vanilla environment to save yourself from being bombarded.

i guess you mean torison, which i don't think anyone here uses. the most fully-featured ts ide other than that would probably be torquedev, but most people here just use programs like notepad++ and sublime text, which both have torquescript packages available somewhere on these forums

There actually is a free IDE, TorqueDev! http://www.torquedev.com/

It does syntax checking and stuff. It's decent, but I stopped using it and just use Notepad ++ nowadays.

I love this IDE, I really do, it's just not as easy to just open-and-go like notepad++ is for me, which is why I still use notepad++. Though it's quite useful if you're prone to making syntax errors.

[Kyuande]

I use Sublime Text 3 :^)

[Electrk.]

I use Sublime Text 3 :^)

there's a torquescript package for it too

Since like 2 days ago, torsion is open source.

This code currently fails to build and this tag is only here for history sake.
