PLEAZE reply

I dont think you should buy TGE if you dont know that stuff

Just open up F11 in the start menu of the Torque Game Engine 1.5 Demo.

4. how dpo you make a bot drive a vegicle or have a wepon?
For the first one, you would need to modify the engine code to cope with AIPlayers looking left in WheeledVehicles and FlyingWheeledVehicles as this is currently broken.

For the second one:
[name of bot].mountImage([weapon image name],0);
[name of bot].setImageTrigger(0,1);

Try looking at the source code for my New Bots Mod to see how I made AI bots aim, choose and fire weapons.

thanks guys ill try that out

You should first get some programming experience.
ActionScript is object oriented like TorqueScript, and the syntax is mostly the same.
If you don't know what ActionScript is, it is used in Flash.
Taking college, university, or even high school classes, can help you get started on programming/scripting in general.
If it isn't clear enough on the course name:
C/U: Computer Programming
HS: Same as above (Possibly), or Computer Information & Science.
Your high school may not offer it.
