[willhideho]

Ok, I dont need a tutorial. There are already plenty of guides. I just have 2 ?s.

1. Did the people who have Torque 3D really buy it for like $250 or more?
2. What type of version should I get?

(A) Demo
(B) Basic
(C) Professional
(D) Studio

Or is there some way to get it without paying a large amount of money.

Please answer like this.

"Yes"

Any other help/advice would be appreciated.

What type of games do you plan on making?

Games? I thought you needed torque to script game modes and addons.

[Tom]

Nope, you don't need torque to make scripts. All you need is Notepad or any other plain text editor.

[willhideho]

Then what do people need torque for?

[Tom]

Torque is a game engine. People can use ti to make games, like Blockland. Because Blockland was made with torque, you use TorqueScript to make add-ons. You can use any plain text editor for torque script.

Ok. That leaves me with one question. There are binary files and executive files for notepad. What exactly should I download onthe notepad site. And does notepad have as many console commands as torque?

2. What type of version should I get?

1. I believe it was beta testers, scripters, and other supporters.
2. How much money do you have?

Other then that Demo/Basic is a good place to start.

You should also realize the Torque 3D is the brain child of GG. You should only buy it if your dead cold serious about making games.

Also, this should go in a different area. Coding help is for coding.

Ok, but this relates to coding and in the moment I thought I should put it in coding.

But could you please answer my current question  above your reply?

Uhmm, try executive.

Let me explain how scripting on Blockland works.
Blockland is made with Torque Game Engine. It is not possible to change main code of the game, so we use scripts. Scripts are .cs files, written in Torque Script. When a script is loaded, its new functions are added to the game.

So how do you create "scripts". Its simple. Open any plain text editor, and start scripting. When you are done, you save the file as a .cs file and package it, and put it in your add-ons folder.

But im still not clear on wether or not notepad has sufficient console commands to make a good script or not.

Errrr... Notepad is a text editor. IT has no console.

You write script that is then ran by torque. So you can use almost any console command in torque.

ok thanks.

do not buy any torque if you just want to make mods. all you need is notepad. you dont even need an addon for notepad, just write the file and throw .cs on the end
