Author Topic: I am a ROBLOX player, and I need to know the scripting differences.  (Read 4501 times)

Well, I was a fairly good scripter back on roblox, but I know the scripting can't be the same. first of all, can you change the transparency of a brick? will the script below work on blockland? if not, can you change it so that it will?

----------
function onTouch(hit)
game.Workspace.brick.CanColli de = false
wait(1)
game.Workspace.brick.CanColli de = true
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)
----------

It is supposed to make a rick walk-throughable for 1 second when touched.

Thank you for helping me, because I would like to be able to make guided missiles and roller coaster here on blockland, too.

It will not work as blockland does not use whatever Roblox uses (I believe LUA).

Search torquescript instead.


Also good luck on that roller coaster seeing as bricks are locked on a grid and are not easily movable. The Guided Missile has been done before.

Oh, great. I'll have to learn torqescript AND remember all my LUA? Making a guided missile on blockland won't be as easy as I had hoped, then.

You could easily make that "script" with wrench events.

Glad to see you're interested in learning scripting, though. If you learned Lua, I'm sure you'll pick up Torquescript fairly quickly.

sweetness! but I probably will always be better with LUA, since I started it a few morths ago, and I have never done torquescripting. but ill learn both. just wait :)

Cool! I'll try that sometime.

Blockland uses TorqueScript, a custom scripting language for the Torque Game Engine. There are several guides on the Internet how to use it.

TorqueScript is a C-Style language, as is Lua - both have similar syntax.

so, after using LUA for 3 months, will torque be easy or hard to learn?

Easier than learning it or Lua from scratch.

Your LUA witchcraft cannot work here, you cannot harm us.

game.Workspace.brick.CanColli de = true

Does it seriously have that space there?


This some sort of crazy talk, script of the devil I tell yee.

game.Workspace.brick.CanColli de = true

I didn't put a space there... you did.

Copy-paste the lines into Notepad on a monospaced font. There is a space.

Code: [Select]
game.Workspace.brick.CanColli de = false

i bet he can't code at all and he just copy pasted that to impress us

but i won't forget this, oh no.
