Does /* work in torquescript?

[Digmaster]

IE:

Code: [Select]

/*Hello my gentlemen
Today is a nice and dandy day
How are you?
*/
That would all be commented out.

It's documented in some GarageGames manuals, but it throws syntax errors for me. I've also never seen it in a working mod. So, I'll stick with no.

[Digmaster]

Noooooo

I was using it for something :( Heck, I was using it for a lot of things. Now I need to go in there and fix it. Perhaps if I get a mod I want to release I'll add it in there and see if it gives me any errors.

[Thief]

Use double slashes (//) to comment. Don't release a complex mod without documentation.

[UnDiViDeD]

Try it.  Open up a script and switch out a //.

[Packer]

Use // in front of all the sentences, // comments out the line specificity.

[Digmaster]

:(

/* was so easy, comment out tons of lines. Oh well, Ill just copy and paste a lot of //

[Green Link]

Use CRTL-F click the 'replace' tab and fill in the 'search for' text box with: /*, then fill in the 'replace with' box with: //. Then click the replace all button. It's that easy.

[Digmaster]

No, its hard.

All of that is commented out. that's why I love /*, massive commenting. I'll need to go to every line and add a // at the fount.

Oh, nvm then.

I'm good, I just ditched my old script to use one that already has %90 of the coding done. just change the model, the emitters, a bit of cntrl H, remove a ton of stuff (It was mostly the stuff that made his minigun so great that I'm removing:D) add some stuff, and I'm done. Thanks Kaje.

Some IDEs actually have key combos to comment out the selected block of code, might be worth looking into using one.
